Description: Pulse automated build server
Long Description: Pulse is an automated build or continuous integration server. Pulse regularly checks out your project's source code from your SCM, builds the project and reports on the results. A project build typically involves compiling the source code and running tests to ensure the quality of the code. By automating this process, pulse allows you to constantly monitor the health of your project.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/pulse
%  sudo port install pulse  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching pulse
--->  Verifying checksum for pulse
--->  Extracting pulse
--->  Configuring pulse
--->  Building pulse with target all

--->  Staging pulse into destroot

--->  Installing pulse

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using pulse with these commands:

%  man pulse
%  apropos pulse
%  which pulse
%  locate pulse
