+**** MacPorts
+There are four ports (at writing) available through MacPorts:
+
++ [[https://ports.macports.org/port/emacs/summary][emacs]] (26.3) and [[https://ports.macports.org/port/emacs-devel/summary][emacs-devel]] (27) -- Installs terminal-only Emacs

+
+Some of these ports do not add an =emacs= binary to your ~PATH~, which is
+necessary for Doom's installation. This can be fixed by adding the following to
+your shell config:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sh
+# Add this to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bash_profile
+export PATH="/Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS:$PATH"
+#+END_SRC
+
+Or by creating a shim script at ~/usr/local/bin/emacs~:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC
+#!/bin/sh
+/Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs "$@"
+#+END_SRC

 *** On Windows
 *Support for Windows is immature,* so your mileage will vary. Some have reported
 success with installing Doom via WSL, chocolatey on git-bash or cygwin.
