PKG_RADD(1)	       DragonFly General Commands Manual	   PKG_RADD(1)

NAME
     pkg_radd -- installs packages

SYNOPSIS
     pkg_radd package ...

DESCRIPTION
     pkg_radd acts as a wrapper for pkg_add(1).  It sets the PKG_PATH variable
     to the DragonFly default pkgsrc(7) binary package server or uses the
     global /etc/pkg_radd.conf config file to calculate PKG_PATH.  In
     /etc/pkg_radd.conf, set BINPKG_BASE to your favorite binary packages mir-
     ror URL to allow pkg_radd to automatically retrieve the latest set of
     binary packages for your DragonFly release.  If you want to use a spe-
     cific set of packages, set BINPKG_SITES instead.

     All options passed to pkg_radd are passed to pkg_add(1).

EXAMPLES
     The following is an example of a typical usage of the pkg_radd command:

	   # pkg_radd host

     If you don't know which version of your desired package to install you
     can use pkg_search(1) to find the correct version.

	   # pkg_search fvwm2
	   # pkg_radd -v fvwm-2.4.20nb1

     If you add the following line

	   BINPKG_BASE=http://mirror-master.dragonflybsd.org/packages

     to /etc/pkg_radd.conf, pkg_radd fetches packages from the main DragonFly
     server.  If possible, replace the entry with one of the mirrors as listed
     in http://www.dragonflybsd.org/mirrors/.
