| 7 | == Updating MacPorts Base == |
| 8 | |
| 9 | The version of MacPorts built on 10.8 or lower will fail to install packages on Mavericks because of a missing `/usr/bin/gnutar`. The solution to that problem is to re-install MacPorts. Since no binary installer is available yet, [http://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.source|installation from source] is currently the only way to do this. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | On Mavericks, ensure you have at least the command line tools installed by running `xcode-select --install` from a Terminal. Make sure to also run this even if you have Xcode installed, because you will otherwise see an error message about MacPorts not being able to find Tcl. |

| 13 | == Pre-Built Binary Packages == |
| 14 | |
| 15 | We will start to build and distribute binary packages for ports as soon as we have a Mavericks buildbot. [https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2013-October/024724.html|Our admins are working] on getting the buildbot set up. |
