Clueless about MAC OS X installation

I downloaded fink, tried using it to get singular but to no avail. I'm not familiar with the UNIX interface. Anyone care to help a poor graduate student out before I give up?

Sorry for the long delay.
Regarding the availability of Singular in fink see

Can you give more details about your problem?
