    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/db3
      % sudo port install db3
      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 db3
      ---> Verifying checksum for db3
      ---> Extracting db3
      ---> Configuring db3
      ---> Building db3 with target all
      ---> Staging db3 into destroot
      ---> Installing db3
    - 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 db3 with these commands:
      %  man db3
      % apropos db3
      % which db3
      % locate db3
