    If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.

    Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:


      %  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/endian
      % sudo port install endian
      Password:
    You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

      ---> Fetching endian
      ---> Verifying checksum for endian
      ---> Extracting endian
      ---> Configuring endian
      ---> Building endian with target all
      ---> Staging endian into destroot
      ---> Installing endian
    - Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using endian with these commands:
      %  man endian
      % apropos endian
      % which endian
      % locate endian
