  • Don't get ports and packages confused. You're trying to install a package but said you're still getting used to ports. I only use ports so I can't help you with the new pkg system. Commented Feb 20, 2014 at 14:03
  • Ports is the source code that you then compile yourself and install, whereas pkg installs already compiled binaries. Is that correct? Commented Feb 20, 2014 at 14:04

    Did you try pkg install -y webmin nginx nano ? Commented Feb 20, 2014 at 18:26
  • That worked! I was putting the -y switch in the wrong place by using pkg -y install webmin nginx nano .... I can't believe I was unable to think outside the box just a little! Is that somewhere in the documentation and I missed it? Commented Feb 21, 2014 at 0:47
