Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

I installed Macports one year ago. I need library in order to run FreeFem on my MacBook.

It appears that I need to update it so I used the command sudo port selfupdate An error pops up and I didn't succeed to solve it. I precise that I'm new on computer science. I've few knowledges but not enough to understand everything yet.

So I took a look in the difference tickets (for example Ticket #46193) and try the command sudo port -v selfupdate and I got this :

It sounds like you have not installed the Xcode command line tools.

I've install on January, 29 2015 the version 6.1 via App Store of Command Line Tools (OS X 10.9). I'm still running OS X Maverick. Do I have to install another plug in for Xcode?

I read this file, and I discovered that I didn't accept the agreements of xcode. So I type "sudo xcodebuild -license" and agree to them Then I type another "sudo port selfupdate" and it worked.

But then an issue appears :

mbp-de-benjamin:~ Benjamin$ sudo port selfupdate

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
  port upgrade outdated
mbp-de-benjamin:~ Benjamin$ port upgrade outdated
Error: Insufficient privileges to write to MacPorts install prefix.

How do we get privileges to write to MacPorts ?

You need admin privileges for that too.

$ sudo port upgrade outdated
