pkgsrc is a framework for building over 25,000 open source software packages. It is the native package manager on SmartOS, NetBSD, and Minix, and is portable across 23 different operating systems. Use one package manager across all of your systems!
MNX Cloud provide binary packages for SmartOS/illumos, macOS, Linux, and NetBSD.

eval $(/usr/libexec/path_helper)Now that you're ready to go, here are some common commands you may want to run.
pkgin is the front-end to the binary packages, and lets you search for, install, upgrade, and remove packages. It also provides some basic functionality for querying both local and remote packages. If you have used apt-get or yum you should find it to be very familiar.
The underlying packaging tools are pkg_add, pkg_admin, pkg_create, pkg_delete, and pkg_info. If pkgin is equivalent to apt-get or yum, then these are the equivalent of dpkg or rpm. Here are some useful commands to get you started.
: Refresh the pkgin database with the latest version
$ sudo pkgin -y update
: Search for a package. Regular expressions are supported.
$ pkgin search ^ffmpeg[0-9]$
ffmpeg4-4.1.1 Decoding, encoding and streaming software (v4.x)
ffmpeg3-3.4.5 Decoding, encoding and streaming software (v3.x)
ffmpeg2-2.8.14 Decoding, encoding and streaming software (v2.x)
ffmpeg1-1.2.12 Decoding, encoding and streaming software (v1.x)
: Install a package without prompting
$ sudo pkgin -y install ffmpeg4
: List all available packages
$ pkgin avail
: Upgrade all installed packages
$ sudo pkgin -y upgrade
: Remove a package
$ sudo pkgin -y remove ffmpeg4
: Automatically remove orphaned dependencies
$ sudo pkgin -y autoremove: List installed packages.
$ pkg_info
: Query which package a file belongs to.
$ pkg_info -Fe /opt/pkg/bin/ffmpeg4
ffmpeg4-4.1.1
: List the contents of a package.
$ pkg_info -qL ffmpeg4
/opt/pkg/bin/ffmpeg4
/opt/pkg/bin/ffprobe4
[...]
: Perform an audit of all currently installed packages.
$ sudo pkg_admin fetch-pkg-vulnerabilities
$ pkg_admin audit
