Usermacports is a simple, easy-to-use script that sets up a blank MacPorts directory for you without requiring administrator/root access. It does so by automating the task of building and installing MacPorts from source.

Instructions

Download latest MacPorts srce (.tar.gz version) to ~/Downloads: https://www.macports.org/install.php#source
Edit the file new_macports. Set the variable MACPORTS_DOWNLOAD to the name of the file just downloaded:
```
MACPORTS_DOWNLOAD='MacPorts-2.3.4.tar.gz'
```
Run the new_macports script to create a new user-level installation of MacPorts, in a particular location. For example:
```
new_macports $HOME/macports/gcc49-python3
```

Set up your environment in your .profile:

export MACPORTS=$HOME/macports/gcc49-python3
export PORT=$MACPORTS/bin/port
export PATH=$MACPORTS/bin:$PATH

Edit $MACPORTS/etc/macports/macports.conf:

# https://trac.macports.org/ticket/56563
# Hfscompression only works if installing in default /opt location
hfscompression      	no

Install stuff in your new Macports directory; just use port install without the sudo.
