Port Authority is an application that provides a graphical user interface for the DarwinPorts package management system for Mac OS X. DarwinPorts is a powerful command-line tool for installing and updating a variety of Unix-based applications for the Mac.

Its power, though, comes at the cost of some complexity; in the past the only way to utilize DarwinPorts was to type in various commands into the Mac's Terminal application, which can be intimidating for those users without a Unix background.

Port Authority aims to bring the power of DarwinPorts to the traditional Mac user by providing an Aqua-native, user-friendly graphical interface to DarwinPorts. Using a familiar combination of windows, icons, and menus, Port Authority users can search, install, update, and remove DarwinPorts programs and the DarwinPorts infrastructure itself.
To install, just download and move the Port Authority folder to your /Applications directory.
