Upon installing macports on my OSX machine I found that I come across the following error:

port: command not found

Well upon doing a quick search of I found my answer.

nano ~/.bash_profile

#paste the following:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin

export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/local/share/man

export INFOPATH=$INFOPATH:/opt/local/share/info

Ctrl+O

Enter

Ctrl+X

Now just reload terminal and everything should work like a charm. I newb proofed this article for the sake of those users who have not used the nano editor.
