Installing an +application is as simple as downloading the port, unpacking it and typing +make in the port directory. The Makefile automatically fetches the +application source code, either from a local disk or via ftp, unpacks it +on your system, applies the patches, and compiles. If all goes well, +simply type +.Ar make install +to install the application. +.Pp +For more information about using ports, see +.Nm The Ports Collection +(file:/usr/share/doc/handbook/ports.html --or-- +http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ports.html). +For information about creating new ports, see +.Nm Porting applications +(file:/usr/share/doc/handbook/porting.html --or-- +http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/porting.html). +Both are part of the FreeBSD Handbook. +.Pp +.Sh FILES +.Bl -tag -width /usr/ports/xxxx -compact +.It Pa /usr/ports +The default ports directory (FreeBSD and OpenBSD). +.It Pa /usr/opt +The default ports directory (NetBSD). +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr make 1 , +.Xr pkg_add 1 , +.Xr pkg_create 1 , +.Xr pkg_delete 1 , +.Xr pkg_info 1 . +.Sh AUTHORS +This man page has been written by David E.
