Thank you both for your help!!

Have a wonderful day.

Drop the initial $, that’s a prompt and not part of the command

Hi,

I would like to uninstall MacPorts entirely from my Macbook Pro M1. I am 
currently running MacOS Monterey.
I initially installed MacPorts on my MacBook Air 2011?, but when I bought my 
new Macbook Pro M1, I transferred all of the files from the old to new 
computer. As a result, I still have MacPorts on my new mac. I would like to 
uninstall it entirely.

In an attempt to uninstall MacPorts myself when I first bought the new mac, I 
may have tried to delete any associated files by searching “MacPorts”. But 
truthfully, I don’t remember if I had any luck.

I have followed the instructions posted on the guide.macports.org website, but 
have had no success. The output I receive from the “$ sudo port -fp uninstall 
installed” input is:

-bash: $: command not found



I have no idea where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.



Thanks.
