New description: I have macports installed on El Capitan but port and sudo port commands to try to activate a macports installed programme only produces an error such as: {{{ Error: Unrecognized action "port clam" Error: org.macports.load for port clamav returned: Launchd plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.clamav.plist was not found }}} So I don't know how to use macports programmes.

I've looked long and hard for answers on the net but can't find anything. -- Comment: Based on the error message, it sounds like you tried to run `port clam`. That's not a valid MacPorts command. It also looks like you tried to run `sudo port load clamav`. Instead, you should install the clamav-server port and then follow the instructions in the notes it prints, or review those notes at any time by running `port notes clamav-server`. In the general case, you can find out what files a port has installed by running `port contents` followed by the port name, for example `port contents chkrootkit`. If you need further help using MacPorts, please write to the [https://www.macports.org/contact.php#Lists macports-users mailing list], rather than writing in the issue tracker. The issue tracker is for bug reports and feature requests. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51430#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
