py27-ipython, py27-pandas, py27-numpy, py27-scipy, py27-scikits-lean, py27-matplotlib. Note that the port name that are related to python2.7 will be in the form of py27. Will install macports from the macports website (see your OS and download the right one). You have is not too old) and its commandline tools, X11 and some other things first. Firstly, we need to install Xcode (see also the version of Xcode But yeah, most ports work very well even though OS changes since What’s easy to forget sometimes is selecting the version to use as the system’s default. On OSX, installing Python is fairly easy with MacPorts: sudo port install python27 sudo port install python34. Take some time (a day or a week) for them to update the new port that are compatible Select Python version and run We want to set usual python command to replace python27 and also ipython. At least for the time being, I need both versions side by side. MacPorts needs a full XCode installation, while homebrew only needs XCode command. From my experience, it is normal to have some port problem with macports when new Mac operating system, for example, when Maverick or Yosemite was announced or when new XCode version were updated. pip will be used later for installing the required Python packages. We may have to migrate our ports when Mac announce new operating system. Macports depends mostly by its community and ones who update the port. Note that this is not an official document but probably an easy way to get start with Macports.

#Using macports python with eclipse for mac osx
I wrote Macports documentation which is package management system for Mac OSX which hopefully will be useful for members who use Mac. Since lab members use a lot of Apple product, I think package management system is good for long-term installation. Note that I now change from Macports to Homebrew Installing Python using Macports (beginner guide) posted on August 1, 2015
