Mac Mavericks install using MacPorts fails

I successfully installed MacPorts in order to be able to use the command "sudo port install ImageMagick" suggested at
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php
However, on opening Terminal and running that command, I get the message, "Error: Port ImageMagick not found"
What have I missed?
Thanks, ---TAD.

Try:
Code: Select all
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port list imagemagick
sudo port info imagemagick
(Strictly speaking, `sudo` is only required for the first command, and isn't required for the last two commands -- but I want to see if it is in your $PATH.)
