|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm FreeBSD Ports Collection
|
|
offers a simple way for users and
|
|
administrators to install applications.
|
|
Each
|
|
.Ar port
|
|
listed here contains any patches necessary to make the original
|
|
application source code compile and run on BSD. 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.
