This only has to be done once.

## MacPorts

The package management system [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org) offers both the latest release version (port `qgis3`) and the long term version (port `qgis3-ltr`). This will install QGIS with native architecture, Intel x86_64 or Apple ARM. Main software dependencies such as GDAL, PDAL and GRASS GIS are usually the latest version available.
