To add package from local or cdrom, enter:
Code:
pkg_add package.tgz
pkg_add /path/to/package.tgz
To add package from FTP/HTTP site use (adjust version 3.0 and i386 as per your arch):
Code:
pkg_add ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/3.0/i386/All/package-name
To delete or remove package, use:
Code:
pkg_delete -r package-name
Display if updated version available or not i.e. Finding if newer versions of your installed packages are in pkgsrc:
Code:
lintpkgsrc -i
The pkg_info command shows information about installed packages or binary package files.
Code:
pkg_info
This is just a quick and dirty intro read system man pages for all options or download NetBSD guides
