If all went well, a simple `make install` will install the application and register it with the package system. For most ports, a precompiled `package` also exists, saving the user the work and time of having to compile anything at all. Use man:pkg-install[8] to securely download and install the precompiled version of a port. For more information see link:{handbook}ports/#pkgng-intro[Using pkg for Binary Package Management]
