[14/50] [abbrv] git commit: updated
refs/heads/1781-reorganize-and-improve-docs to 2375d00
Changed Mac OS X section
MacOS is now Mac OS X. Added "Installation using the Apache CouchDB native application" section (inspired by MySQL documentation), simplified MacPorts section. Who chose MacPorts in favor of the native app is because already using MacPorts, so he knows how to upgrade packages, make the selfupdate, etc.

+Installation from MacPorts
+==========================
+
+To install CouchDB using MacPorts you have 2 package choices:
+
+- ``couchdb`` - the latest release version
+- ``couchdb-devel`` - updated every few weeks from the master branch
+
+::
+
+ $ sudo port install couchdb
+
+or, if you want the last development version:
+
+ $ sudo port install couchdb-devel
+
+MacPorts takes care of installing all necessary dependencies.
+It should now be up and accessible via Futon at http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils.
+
+If you want to run CouchDB as a service, load the launchd configuration which
+comes with the project, with this command::
+
+ $ sudo port load couchdb
+
+Now CouchDB should be started automatically after every reboot.
