Installing the Package
To install hellow, use the command sudo fink install hellow. This command downloads the source to a working directory, and then extracts, compiles, and packages it, generating the file /sw/fink/dists/local/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/hellow_1.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb. After fink creates this file, it installs it using dpkg. After you’ve installed hellow, you can view its manpage and run the hellow command:
% man hellow HELLOW(1) System General Commands Manual HELLOW(1) NAME hellow - Greeting generator DESCRIPTION This command prints a friendly greeting. Mac OS April 15, 2002 Mac OS % hellow Hello, world!
