As complete as your OpenBSD system is, you may want to add any of several
excellent third party software applications. There are several ways to do
this. You can:
1) Obtain the source code and build the application based
upon whatever installation procedures are provided with the
application.
2) Use the OpenBSD ``ports'' collection to automatically get any
needed source file, apply any required patches, create the
application, and install it for you.
3) Use the OpenBSD ``package'' collection to grab a pre-compiled
and tested version of the application for your hardware.
If you purchased the OpenBSD CD-ROM you already have several popular
``packages'', and the ``ports'' collection.
NOTE: Some important packages which are not permitted on the CD (due to
patents) are available on our FTP servers. In particular, we
provide the USA and international versions of both SSH and PGP.
The filenames are:
ssh-usa-1.2.27.tgz ssh-intl-1.2.27.tgz
pgp-usa-2.6.3.tgz pgp-intl-2.6.3.tgz
Instructions for installing applications from the various sources using
the different installation methods follow. If emacs is to be installed
it should be installed first as it creates the ``info'' directory file
that may be modified by other applications.
You should also refer to the packages(7) manual page.
Installing applications from the CD-ROM package collection:
The OpenBSD CD-ROM ships with several applications pre-built
for various hardware architectures. The number of applications
vary according to available disk space. Check the directory
OSREV/packages/MACHINE to see which packages are available for
your hardware architecture. That directory will be on the same
CD-ROM containing the OS installation files for your architecture.
To install one or more of these packages you must
1) become the superuser (root)
2) mount the appropriage CD-ROM
3) use the ``pkg_add'' command to install the software
Example (in which we use su(1) to get superuser privileges, thus
you have to be in group "wheel", see the manual page for su(1)).
$ su
Password: <enter your root password>
# mkdir -p /cdrom
# mount /dev/cd0a /cdrom
{:-#-:} pkg_add /cdrom/OSREV/packages/MACHINE/<package-name>
# <add more packages if desired>
# umount /cdrom
Package names are usually the application name and version
with .tgz appended, e.g. emacs-20.3.tgz
Installing applications from the ftp.openbsd.org package collection:
All available packages for your architecture have been placed on
ftp.openbsd.org in the directory pub/OpenBSD/OSREV/packages/MACHINE/
You may want to peruse this to see what packages are available. The
packages are also on the OpenBSD FTP mirror sites. See
http://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html
for a list of current ftp mirror sites.
Installation of a package is very easy.
1) become the superuser (root)
2) use the ``pkg_add'' command to install the software
``pkg_add'' is smart enough to know how to download the software
from the OpenBSD ftp server. Example:
$ su
Password: <enter your root password>
{:-#-:} pkg_add ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/{:--:}OSREV/packages/MACHINE/emacs-20.3.tgz
Note: there are both USA and INTERNATIONAL versions of ssh and
pgp on the ftp server. Be sure to grab the correct version.
The USA versions, ssh-usa-1.2.26.tgz and pgp-usa-2.6.3.tgz, use
RSAREF, a legal requirement for use within the United States due
to patent issues.

Note: these packages may not exist for all architectures; other
packages may be added. Some packages are only available via
ftp.
Installing applications from the CD-ROM ports collection:
The CD-ROM ``ports'' collection is a set of Makefiles, patches,
and other files used to control the building and installation
of an application from source files.
Creating an application from sources can require a lot of
disk space, sometimes 50 megabytes or more. The first step is
to determine which of your disks has enough room. Once you've
made this determination read the file README.ports on CD-ROM 2
to see how to copy or mount the ports directory.
To build an application you must:
1) become the superuser (root)
2) have network access, or obtain the actual source files by
some other means.
3) cd to the ports directory containing the port you wish
to build. To build samba, for example, where you'd
previously copied the ports files into the /usr/ports
directory: cd /usr/ports/net/samba
4) make
5) make install
6) make clean
Installing applications from the OpenBSD ports collection:
See http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html for current instructions
on obtaining and installing OpenBSD ports.
You should also refer to the ports(7) manual page.
Installing other applications:
If an OpenBSD package or port does not exist for an application
you're pretty much on your own. The first thing to do is ask
ports@openbsd.org if anyone is working on a port -- there may
be one in progress. If no luck there you may try the FreeBSD
ports or NetBSD package collection. If you are on an i386 based
machine it is quite possible that the FreeBSD port, if one exists,
will work for you.
If you can't find an existing port try to make your own and
feed it back to OpenBSD. That's how our ports collection grows.
Some details can be found at http://www.openbsd.org/porting.html
with more help coming from the mailing list, ports@openbsd.org.
