PortSystem 1.0

Name: ed
Version: 1.2
Category: editors
Maintainers: fastmail.fm:lutz.horn
Platform: darwin
Description: ed is a line-oriented text editor.

Long Description: ed is a line-oriented text editor. It is used to create, display, modify and otherwise manipulate text files, both interactively and via shell scripts. A restricted version of ed, red, can only edit files in the current directory and cannot execute shell commands. ed is the standard text editor in the sense that it is the original editor for Unix, and thus widely available. For most purposes, however, it is superseded by full-screen editors such as Emacs.

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/ed
%  sudo port install ed  
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 ed
--->  Verifying checksum for ed
--->  Extracting ed
--->  Configuring ed
--->  Building ed with target all

--->  Staging ed into destroot

--->  Installing ed

- 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 ed with these commands:

%  man ed
%  apropos ed
%  which ed
%  locate ed
