Yes, the above shows Cairo was successfully installed.

It just so happened that Cairo and all of its dependencies had already been 
built by our build servers, so you were able to receive pre-built binaries from 
us. That might not be the case in the future if you upgrade Cairo or try to 
install other ports, in which case MacPorts will try to build them on your 
computer. That might fail if you don't have both Xcode and the command line 
tools installed.

Assuming you followed the prompts shown after you ran "xcode-select --install" 
and installed the command line tools, and that you also have Xcode installed 
for example from the App Store, you're all set even if MacPorts needs to try to 
compile on your system.

I'm assuming "Xbox" was due to auto-correct :-)

port is informing you that the build tools aren't installed correctly
and then giving you the instructions for installing those tools.

In this case, everything you installed was available as a pre-compiled
binary so you didn't need to compile anything yourself and didn't need
to use those tools. If you install other ports in the future those
builds might fail if you don't install the command line tools or the
rest of Xcode.

If you only need cairo, you are indeed all set for now.

[Chris Jones]

Yes, it is installed. 

No idea at all what this has to do with an Xbox though .

Thanks for pointing out that I should open the "Terminal". I tried it;
could you check if my Cairo is installed successfully? Should I do
something on Xbox? Thanks!!

Stop putting yourself in shell mode by with that initial "/opt/local/bin/port ; 
exit;"

Just type sudo port install cairo

Ok, it sounds like what you actually did was you double-clicked on "port" in 
the Finder, which opened Terminal and ran the port command for you with no 
arguments.

That's not how MacPorts is used. Instead, open the Terminal, if it's not still 
open. It's in /Applications/Utilities. Then type the command you want, like 
"sudo port install cairo".

Welcome! Technically you don't *need* to install MacPorts if all you want is 
Cairo. You could build it and it's dependencies from source. But using MacPorts 
is indeed an easy way to get the job done.

You are correct; there is no GUI app called MacPorts. MacPorts is the command 
line program /opt/local/bin/port. 

The installer should have set up your PATH so that you can run it by just 
typing "port" instead of that full path. 

From your output above, I see you inadvertently entered MacPorts shell mode, 
indicated by the ">" prompt, by running "port" with no arguments. As it says, 
to exit that mode, type "quit" to get back to your normal shell's "$" prompt. 
At your normal shell "$" prompt, you can run "sudo port install cairo".

Follow the setup instructions to add the port command to your PATH:

Re: Macports installation problem

[Al Varnell]

Type echo $PATH in Terminal to make certain that /opt/local/bin/ is included. 
If not then you need to add it or just use: 

sudo /opt/local/bin/port install cairo.

Macports installation problem

[John]

Hi,

   I tried to install Cairo graphics

https://www.cairographics.org/download/

   and I need to install Macports.

   I tried to install Macports on my Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6, and type "sudo
port install cairo", but it did not respond. I haven't seen any file name
or app called Macports, but one file called "port" which is located at

loca/bin/port"

   How should I do it?

   Thanks,

John
