Re: installed tree on Mavericks 10.9.2

2014-04-30 Thread Ken G. Brown
I did realized that tree was a command line utility, that was why I wanted it.

After installing it, tree was still not working from command line. At some 
later time, it magically started working.
Perhaps I had quit Terminal and restarted at some point, I don’t recall.

Shouldn’t the install process ensure the utility is in working state or does a 
person always have to quit terminal and restart, or perhaps open a new Terminal 
window?

What is the accepted procedure?

What is the best macports gui front end?

 port contents tree
results in:
Port tree contains:
  /opt/local/bin/tree
  /opt/local/share/doc/tree/CHANGES
  /opt/local/share/doc/tree/LICENSE
  /opt/local/share/doc/tree/README
  /opt/local/share/man/man1/tree.1.gz

Thx
Ken

 You can check for sure using port contents tree

 I'm guessing that you didn't realize that tree is a command line
 utility, as is most of the software provided by MacPorts, though there
 are some graphical wares.
 
 tree and the port command that I listed above can be run from

It is not sanely possible for programs to inject PATH changes or command
re-hashing into a running shell. Also the only way I can see what you
describe happening is that you installed MacPorts and did not follow the
directions saying that you need to start a new terminal to pick up $PATH.

installed tree on Mavericks 10.9.2

2014-04-23 Thread Ken G. Brown
I’ve just installed the tree utility using Pallet.app gui for MacPorts.

I had tried earlier with Port Authority but had a few crashes. 

What is the best gui for MacPorts?

Now that tree apparently is installed, how do I run it, where is the executable?

Is there something I am missing in setting up to be able to run the MacPorts 
installed programs?

Any tips appreciated.
Thx,
Ken G. Brown
