Creating a restore point

Create a restore point before making a major system change or installing programs (see: Restore options).

This step shows you how to install new software under TwinCAT/BSD. The software must be available on the Package Server (see: Search). You can install additional software or TwinCAT Functions.

With each installation, the pkg program checks whether the local data stock matches that on the Package Server; it is updated if necessary.

Proceed as follows:

1. Enter the command doas pkg install <packagename> in the console. Sample:

Administrator@CX-3B151A:~ % doas pkg install docbook
Password:
Updating FreeBSD12-pkgbase repository catalogue...
FreeBSD12-pkgbase repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
---snippet---
2. The pkg program automatically searches for additional packages that are required for the installation.
3. Confirm the installation with [y].
The package is retrieved from the repository and installed on the system. Some packages contain installation messages that contain instructions, warnings and helpful notes.
