I have installed both moria and ettercap using MacPorts (via pallet) and I can't find out where the things were installed to run them!
Where is the install directory?
EDIT: When I install things JUST using macports i.e. from the command line it works.
Pallet doesn't actually seem to install things :S
If you use contents, it will tell you where they are.
Unless you performed a custom installation of MacPorts everything installed by MacPorts is located conveniently at
/opt/local
if you perform a directory listing at that location you should see the structure for port installed programs which should be installed in bin or sbin directories.
user$ ls
bin etc include lib libexec man sbin share var
As noted in the MacPorts Documentation
2.3. Install MacPorts
If you are using Mac OS X, you should install MacPorts using the Mac OS X package installer unless you do not wish to install it to /opt/local/, the default MacPorts location, or if you wish to install a pre-release version of MacPorts base. However, if you wish to install multiple copies of MacPorts or install MacPorts on another OS platform, you must install MacPorts from the source code.
To find where any Unix commandline executable is located, use the which command:
$ which bash
/bin/bash
$ which port
/opt/local/bin/port
which find will return /usr/bin/find whereas if you've installed findutils that version (on my install) goes in /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/find.
which won't return anything.

Use the "contents" action. For example you want to find the location of the "argon2" port.
$port installed
The following ports are currently installed:`
argon2 @20190702_1 (active)
bzip2 @1.0.8_0 (active)
gettext @0.19.8.1_2 (active)
gsed @4.8_0 (active)
icu @67.1_4 (active)
libedit @20210216-3.1_0 (active)
libiconv @1.16_1 (active)
libxml2 @2.9.10_1 (active)
mhash @0.9.9.9_1 (active)
ncurses @6.2_1 (active)
pcre2 @10.36_0 (active)
php73 @7.3.27_0+libedit (active)
php73-phalcon3 @3.4.5_0 (active)
php_select @1.0_0 (active)
xz @5.2.5_0 (active)
zlib @1.2.11_0 (active)
Get the port's name and version/variants from the results. In this case "argon2 @20190702_1".
Then run the "content" action.
$port contents argon2 @20190702_1
Port argon2 contains:
/opt/local/bin/argon2
/opt/local/include/argon2.h
/opt/local/lib/libargon2.1.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libargon2.a
/opt/local/lib/libargon2.dylib
/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/libargon2.pc
/opt/local/share/man/man1/argon2.1.gz
The result shows the locations for the port's related files. In this case the "argon2" file located at "/opt/local/bin/argon2".
Hope this helps.
Yes, you have to explicitly point to the new app to get it to run:
/opt/local/bin/openssl -- in my case,
otherwise you get the Apple version.
