Installation

Selfupdate

The selfupdate option should be used regularly to sync the local ports tree with the global MacPorts ports repository so you will have the latest port versions. It also checks for new revisions of the MacPorts infrastructure, called MacPorts base, and upgrades it when necessary.

sudo port selfupdate

The sync option performs a subset of selfupdate actions. It synchronizes the ports tree, as does selfupdate, but it does not check for upgrades to MacPorts base. On Mac OS X, unless there is a special reason not to do so, you should run selfupdate.

sudo port sync

Upgrade installed packages

sudo port upgrade outdated

Uninstall package

sudo port uninstall wireshark

Using variants

sudo port variants wireshark
wireshark has the variants:
	adns
