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/figlet
%  sudo port install figlet

--->  Verifying checksum for figlet
--->  Extracting figlet
--->  Configuring figlet
--->  Building figlet with target all

--->  Staging figlet into destroot

--->  Installing figlet

- 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 figlet with these commands:

%  man figlet
%  apropos figlet
