 Where {{Codeline|<nowiki><portname></nowiki>}} is the name of the port. For example, the name of the port for Octave is simply {{Codeline|<nowiki>octave</nowiki>}}.
-All of Octave's dependencies will also be Installed. MacPorts' Octave port includes the non-GPL [http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/views/metis METIS]. To avoid license violations do not bundle Metis with Octave and then distribute to others. A second motivation to use a local portfile is that the portfiles for the 3.4.x and 3.6.x series did not include all dependencies for the {{Codeline|<nowiki>print</nowiki>}} feature.  The missing dependencies are [http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=epstool epstool], [http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=pstoedit pstoedit], and [http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=transfig transfig].

A [[Prototype MacPorts PortFile|prototype portfile]] which does not depend upon METIS and does depend upon epstool, pstoedit, and transfig has been prepared.
-The steps are adding a local portfile repository and placing an Octave portfile in it are itemized below. It is assumed that the portfile name is {{Codeline|<nowiki>octave-local</nowiki>}}, and that the portfile has been placed on the users Desktop.
+After [http://guide.macports.org/chunked/development.local-repositories.html creating a local portfile repository] an Octave portfile may be added to the local repository using the commands below.
-* Create your local portfile repository
+  <nowiki>mkdir -p ~/ports/math/octave-local
-  <nowiki>mkdir ~/ports</nowiki>
-* Place the Octave portile in the local repository
- <nowiki>mkdir ~/ports/math
-mkdir ~/ports/math/octave-local
 cp ~/Desktop/portfile ~/ports/math/octave-local</nowiki>
-* Index your local repository
+This assumes the Octave portfile had been placed on the users Desktop. After adding the portfile, the local repository must be indexed for MacPorts to recognize it.
   <nowiki>cd ~/portfile
 portindex -f</nowiki>
+Once indexed the local Octave port may be installed.
+ <nowiki>sudo port install octave-local</nowiki>
 Once an Octave port is installed the command below may be used to determine / verify the port's version and variants.
