%  sudo port install desklaunch

--->  Verifying checksum for desklaunch
--->  Extracting desklaunch
--->  Configuring desklaunch
--->  Building desklaunch with target all

--->  Staging desklaunch into destroot

--->  Installing desklaunch

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using desklaunch with these commands:

%  man desklaunch
%  apropos desklaunch
%  which desklaunch
%  locate desklaunch
