It is used to manage local packages installed from .Xr ports 7 and install/upgrade packages from remote repositories. .Pp To avoid backwards incompatibility issues, the actual .Xr pkg 8 tool is not installed in the base system. The first time invoked, .Nm will bootstrap the real .Xr pkg 8 from a remote repository. .Bl -tag -width "pkg bootstrap" .It Nm Ao Ar command Ac If .Xr pkg 8 is not installed yet, it will be fetched, have its signature verified, installed, and then have the original command forwarded to it. If already installed, the command requested will be forwarded to the real .Xr pkg 8 . .It Nm Li add Oo Fl f Oc Ao Pa pkg.txz Ac Install .Xr pkg 8 from a local package instead of fetching from remote. If a .Pa pkg.txz.sig file exists and signature checking is enabled, then the signature will be verified before installing the package. If the .Fl f flag is specified, then .Xr pkg 8 will be installed regardless if it is already installed. .It Nm Fl N Do not bootstrap, just determine if .Xr pkg 8 is actually installed or not. Returns 0 and the number of packages installed if it is, otherwise 1. .It Nm Li bootstrap Op Fl f Attempt to bootstrap and do not forward anything to .Xr pkg 8 after it is installed. If the .Fl f flag is specified, then .Xr pkg 8 will be fetched and installed regardless if it is already installed. .El .Sh CONFIGURATION Configuration varies in whether it is in a repository configuration file or the global configuration file. .Pp Repository configuration can be stored in .Pa /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf in the following format: .Bd -literal -offset indent FreeBSD: { url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest", mirror_type: "srv", signature_type: "none", fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg", enabled: yes } .Ed .Bl -tag -width signature_type -compact .It url Refer to .Dv PACKAGESITE in .Sx ENVIRONMENT .It mirror_type Refer to .Dv MIRROR_TYPE in .Sx ENVIRONMENT .It signature_type Refer to .Dv SIGNATURE_TYPE in .Sx ENVIRONMENT .It fingerprints Refer to .Dv FINGERPRINTS in .Sx ENVIRONMENT .It enabled Defines whether this repository should be used or not. Valid values are .Dv yes , .Dv true , .Dv 1 , .Dv no , .Dv false , .Dv 0 . .El .Pp Global configuration can be stored in .Pa /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf in the following format: .Bd -literal -offset indent PACKAGESITE: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest", MIRROR_TYPE: "srv", SIGNATURE_TYPE: "none", FINGERPRINTS: "/usr/share/keys/pkg", ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES: "yes" REPOS_DIR: ["/etc/pkg", "/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos"] .Ed .Pp Reference .Sx ENVIRONMENT for each variable. .Sh ENVIRONMENT The following environment variables can be set to override the settings from the .Pa pkg.conf file used. .Bl -tag -width "ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES" .It Ev MIRROR_TYPE This defines which mirror type should be used. Valid values are .Dv SRV , .Dv HTTP , .Dv NONE . .It Ev ABI This defines the ABI for the package to be installed. Default ABI is determined from .Pa /bin/sh . .It Ev ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES If set, no confirmation will be asked when bootstrapping .Xr pkg 8 . .It Ev SIGNATURE_TYPE If set to .Dv FINGERPRINTS then a signature will be required and validated against known certificate fingerprints when bootstrapping .Xr pkg 8 . .It Ev FINGERPRINTS If .Sy SIGNATURE_TYPE is set to .Dv FINGERPRINTS this value should be set to the directory path where known fingerprints are located. .It Ev PACKAGESITE The URL that .Xr pkg 8 and other packages will be fetched from. .It Ev REPOS_DIR Comma-separated list of directories that should be searched for repository configuration files. .El .Sh FILES Configuration is read from the files in the listed order. This path can be changed by setting .Sy REPOS_DIR . The last enabled repository is the one used for bootstrapping .Xr pkg 8 . .Bl -tag -width "/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/*.conf" .It Pa /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf .It Pa /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf .It Pa /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/*.conf .El .Sh EXAMPLES Some examples are listed here. The full list of available commands are available in .Xr pkg 8 once it is bootstrapped. .Pp Search for a package: .Dl $ pkg search perl .Pp Install a package: .Dl % pkg install perl .Pp List installed packages: .Dl $ pkg info .Pp Upgrade from remote repository: .Dl % pkg upgrade .Pp List non-automatic packages: .Dl $ pkg query -e '%a = 0' %o .Pp List automatic packages: .Dl $ pkg query -e '%a = 1' %o .Pp Delete an installed package: .Dl % pkg delete perl .Pp Remove unneeded dependencies: .Dl % pkg autoremove .Pp Change a package from automatic to non-automatic, which will prevent .Ic autoremove from removing it: .Dl % pkg set -A 0 perl .Pp Change a package from non-automatic to automatic, which will make .Ic autoremove allow it be removed once nothing depends on it: .Dl % pkg set -A 1 perl .Pp Create package file from an installed package: .Dl % pkg create -o /usr/ports/packages/All perl .Pp Determine which package installed a file: .Dl $ pkg which /usr/local/bin/perl .Pp Audit installed packages for security advisories: .Dl $ pkg audit .Pp Check installed packages for checksum mismatches: .Dl # pkg check -s -a .Pp Check for missing dependencies: .Dl # pkg check -d -a .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ports 7 , .Xr pkg 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm command first appeared in .Fx 9.1 . It became the default package tool in .Fx 10.0 , replacing the pkg_install suite of tools .Xr pkg_add 1 , .Xr pkg_info 1 and .Xr pkg_create 1 .
