### Q: How can I start using pkgng?
+
+ 
In order to start using pkgng, please follow the steps below.
+
+ 
Install ports-mgmt/pkg:
+
+ 
        # make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
+ 
        # echo "WITH_PKGNG=yes" >> /etc/make.conf
+
+ 
Now register all packages you have in the pkgng database:
+
+ 
	# pkg2ng
+
+ 
And that was it. Please read the man pages for more information on the commands.

### How can I use pkgng with portmaster?
+
+ 
First make sure you have the latest portmaster patch from the Github repo.
+
+ 
The latest patch can be found here:
+
+ 
* [ports/portmaster.patch](https://github.com/pkgng/pkgng/blob/master/ports/portmaster.patch)
+
+ 
Now patch portmaster:
+
+ 
	# cd /usr/local/sbin && patch < /path/to/pkgng/ports/portmaster.patch
+
+ 
Enable pkgng in portmaster:
+
+ 
	# echo "use_pkgng=yes" >> /usr/local/etc/portmaster.rc
+
+ 
That was it.
