====== FreeBSD Cheat Sheet ====== ===== Binary package management basics ===== ==== Install package from the Internet ==== # pkg_add -r $somepackage Package names are case sensitive Alternatively, locate the package in FreeBSD's servers and download and install manually: # wget ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-$FREEBSD_VERSION/Latest/$PACKAGENAME.tbz # pkg_add $PACKAGENAME.tbz ==== List installed packages ==== # pkg_info ==== Uninstall package ==== # pkg_delete $PACKAGE-$VERSION The package version IS required to uninstall, it can be obtained with ''pkg_info'' ===== Upgrade to a new release ===== # freebsd-update -r $RELEASE_VERSION upgrade # freebsd-update install # reboot # freebsd-update install Replace $RELEASE_VERSION with the actual version, e.g. 9.1 or 8.3-RELEASE. ''freebsd-update install'' must be run twice, once before and once after rebooting. ===== Upgrade binary packages ===== All packages: # portupgrade -PP -a Single package: # portupgrade -PP $somepackage The ''-PP'' forces a binary package download instead of building the port. Requires an updated ports tree, see below. ===== Update ports tree ===== # portsnap fetch # portsnap update ===== References ===== * [[http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=17722|HOWTO: FreeBSD Binary Upgrade (base system + packages)]] * [[http://www.hypexr.org/freebsd_ports_help.php|FreeBSD Package Management (ports, pkg_*) Basics]]
