+Installing the DPDK FreeBSD Port
+--------------------------------
+
+If so desired, the user can install DPDK using the ports collection rather than from
+a pre-compiled binary package.
+On a system with the ports collection installed in ``/usr/ports``, the DPDK
+can be installed using the commands::
+
+ cd /usr/ports/net/dpdk
+
+ make install
