      %  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/postgresql82
      % sudo port install postgresql82
      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:
