Description: GNU File, Shell, and Text utilities

Long Description: The GNU Core Utilities are the basic file, shell, and text manipulation utilities of the GNU operating system.

Previously these utilities were offered as three individual sets of GNU utilities, fileutils, shellutils, and textutils. Those three have been combined into a single set of utilities called the coreutils.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

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

--->  Fetching coreutils
--->  Verifying checksum for coreutils
--->  Extracting coreutils
--->  Configuring coreutils
--->  Building coreutils with target all

--->  Staging coreutils into destroot

--->  Installing coreutils

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using coreutils with these commands:

%  man coreutils
%  apropos coreutils
%  which coreutils
%  locate coreutils
