   The recommended way to manage your system with binary packages is by using [pkgtools/pkgin](http://pkgsrc.se/pkgtools/pkgin).
   
       pkg_add pkgin
   
   Then configure your binary repository from which you want to install packages in /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf.
   Run 'pkgin update' to get the list of available packages. You can then install packages using 'pkgin install firefox'.
   
   To update all installed packages, just run
   
           pkgin update
           pkgin full-upgrade
