Check out Homebrew which fills the third-party package manager niche for OS X.

You can use MacPorts using the following commands for instance:

port install <name of package>
port selfupdate

Look here https://www.macports.org/

Mac doesn't have the same built in package managers as other OSes.

You'll have to choose a package manager you want and get it via curl or manually downloading it. Check out Homebrew which is as simple as:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
