DESCRIPTION

port install will install a new port on your system. You can choose multiple variants, by specifying +name, which indicates the variant is desired, or -name, indicating the contrary.

Global variants will be applied as specified in variants.conf(5).

OPTIONS

--allow-failing

Attempt installation even if the specified port or one of its dependencies indicates that it is known to fail.

--no-replace

Attempt to install the specified port even if it indicates that it is replaced by another port. Without this option, the replacement would be installed instead.

--no-rev-upgrade

Do not run rev-upgrade after installation. See port-rev-upgrade(1) for more information.

--unrequested

Do not mark the installed ports as requested. See port-setrequested(1) for more information.
