I tried using these 1.
*mkdir -p /opt/mports*$ *cd /opt/mports*$ *git clone https://github.com/macports/macports-base.git <https://github.com/macports/macports-base.git>*$ *git checkout v2.4.3 # skip this if you want to use the development version* 2. Build and Install MacPorts MacPorts uses autoconf and makefiles for installation. These commands will build and install MacPorts to /opt/local. You can add --prefix to ./configure to relocate MacPorts to another directory if needed. $ *cd /opt/mports/macports-base*$ *./configure --enable-readline*$ *make*$ *sudo make install*$ *make distclean* while trying to configure i am getting : configure: error: mtree not found. How to proceed? I think i need to install additional files. Can someone help?
