 # Methods using only binary packages

+## pkgin
+
+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
+
+
