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