 If the port needs to execute commands when the binary package is installed with `pkg add` or `pkg install`, use [.filename]#pkg-install#.

 It will be run twice by `pkg`, the first time as `${SH} pkg-install ${PKGNAME} PRE-INSTALL` before the package is installed, and the second time as `${SH} pkg-install ${PKGNAME} POST-INSTALL` after it has been installed.
 `$2` can be tested to determine which mode the script is being run in.
 The `PKG_PREFIX` environmental variable will be set to the package installation directory.
 
+If you use [.filename]#pkg-pre-install# or [.filename]#pkg-post-install# instead, the script is only run once, before or after installation of the package.
