To check if packages exist: set $PKG_PATH environment variable; then command: pkg_info -Q pkgname (where pkgname is a keyword the program will search for). Can also be run as non-root user To update packages: pkg_add -iu (-i is for interaction to selection flavors of pkg's and -u is for update). Must be run with privileges, i.e. sudo or root user.
