Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

I installed PortAuthority first since it claims that it can also install MacPorts. That's a mistake. It instantly crashes when you try to run it without MacPorts installed first. I tried to installed packages from it, but it basically freezes up. The window goes out of focus and I get the system "complaint chime" each time I try to do anything. It looks like this release lacked some QA testing before being released.

Did you happen to read the requirements that say a MacPorts installation is required? MacPorts provides a package installer, so getting MacPorts installed is very easy. Then PortAuthority should work fine.
