FreeBSD Porter’s Handbook

March 24, 2006

“FreeBSD Porter’s Handbook” is part of The FreeBSD Documentation Project.

Book Description

The FreeBSD ports collection is the way almost everyone installs applications (“ports”) on FreeBSD. Like everything else about FreeBSD, it is primarily a volunteer effort. It is important to keep this in mind when reading this document. In FreeBSD, anyone may submit a new port, or volunteer to maintain an existing port if it is unmaintained–you do not need any special commit privileges to do so.
