Installing an Encap Package

This is a simplified example of how you would install an Encap of GNU sed-3.02.

  1. Download the Encap package and extract it into /usr/local/encap. It will create these files:
    /usr/local/encap/sed-3.02/bin/sed
    /usr/local/encap/sed-3.02/man/man1/sed.1
    
  2. Run the command epkg sed-3.02 to create the following symlinks:
    /usr/local/bin/sed -> ../encap/sed-3.02/bin/sed
    /usr/local/man/man1/sed.1 -> ../encap/sed-3.02/man/man1/sed.1
    
That's it!
