DESCRIPTION

     pkg install is used for installation of packages from package reposito-
     ries or local archives.  Multiple package names can be specified on the
     command line, either explicitly or by matching against package names (or
     origins) in the repository catalogues using shell globbing or regular
     expressions.

     pkg install first updates any out of date repository catalogues, unless
     REPO_AUTOUPDATE has been set to NO in pkg.conf.

     It then creates a work-list of all the package installations to do.  Any
     already installed and up-to-date packages will be dropped from the list
     unless the -f (force) option is supplied, in which case those packages
     will be reinstalled.

     The dependencies of packages in the list are examined and any missing
     packages are added to the list for installation.  Such implicitly added
     packages are flagged as candidates for autoremoval.  See
     pkg-autoremove(8) for details.

     Autoremoval flags are sticky, and will persist over reinstallation or
     upgrade of the packages concerned, even if subsequently the packages are
     named explicitly on a command line.  See pkg-query(8) for finding the
     autoremoval status of a package, and pkg-set(8) for modifying it.

     Any already installed but out of date packages, either named on the com-
     mand line or from the sum of all their dependencies are added to the work
     list as upgrade jobs.  The work list is sorted into dependency order and
     pkg install will present it to the user for approval before proceeding,
     unless overridden by the -y option or the ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES setting in
     pkg.conf.

     Packages are fetched from the repositories into the local package cache
     if they are not already present, or if the checksum of the cached package
     file differs from the one in the repository.  Packages may be downloaded
     from any of the repositories mentioned in pkg.conf(5) or in the files in
     /usr/local/etc/pkg/repo.  See pkg-repository(5) for details.

     Package repository catalogues will be automatically updated whenever pkg
     install is run by a user ID with write access to the package database,
     unless disabled by the -U flag or setting REPO_AUTOUPDATE to NO in
     pkg.conf(5).


OPTIONS

     The following options are supported by pkg install:

     -A, --automatic
		Mark the installed packages as automatic.  Will be automati-
		cally removed if no other packages depend on them.  For more
		information please refer to pkg-autoremove(8).

     -C, --case-sensitive
		Make the standard or the regular expression (-x) matching
		against pkg-name case sensitive.

     -f, --force
		Force the reinstallation of the package if already installed.

     -g, --glob
		Treat the package names as shell glob patterns.

     -I, --no-install-scripts
		If any installation scripts (pre-install or post-install)
		exist for a given package, do not execute them.  When a pack-
		age is updated, deinstallation scripts (pre-deinstall or post-
		deinstall) are not run either.

     -i, --case-insensitive
		Make the standard or the regular expression (-x) matching
		against pkg-name case insensitive.  This is the default,
		unless modified by setting CASE_SENSITIVE_MATCH to true in
		pkg.conf.

     -M, --ignore-missing
		Force the installation of the package with missing dependen-
		cies.

     -n, --dry-run
		Dry-run mode.  The list of changes to packages is always
		printed, but no changes are actually made.

     -F, --fetch-only
		Do not perform actual installation of packages, merely fetch
		packages that should be upgraded and detect possible con-
		flicts.

     -q, --quiet
		Force quiet output, except when -n is used, where pkg install
		will always show packages to be installed, upgraded or
		deleted.

     -R, --recursive
		When used with -f, reinstalls any packages that require the
		given package.

     -r reponame, --repository reponame
		Install packages from only the named repository, irrespective
		of the configured ``active'' status from repo.conf.

     -U, --no-repo-update
		Suppress the automatic update of the local copy of the reposi-
		tory catalogue from remote.  Automatic repository catalogue
		updates are only attempted when the effective UID of the
		process has write access to the package database.  Otherwise
		they are silently ignored.

     -x, --regex
		Treat the package names as regular expressions according to
		the "modern" or "extended" syntax of re_format(7).

     -y, --yes	Assume yes when asked for confirmation before package instal-
		lation.
