This lists the commands needed to install the various GeoDjango requirements, including GEOS and GDAL. After installing via this method, several GeoDjango tests report errors with ""ERROR 6: GEOS support not enabled"" messages: * `test07b_closepolygons

([https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/gis/gdal/Portfile]) doesn't include GEOS support by default. There is a GEOS variant (see ""variant geos"" in the previous link), but it must be manually specified when installing. So instead of doing as the documentation suggests: {{{#!sh $ sudo port install gdal }}} Users should instead use: {{{#!sh $ sudo port install gdal +geos }}} Manually specifying the GEOS requirement fixes the above test errors."
