+
+Installing Intel® DPDK from the Ports Collection
+================================================
+
+The easiest way to get up and running with the Intel® DPDK on FreeBSD is to
+install it from the ports collection. Details of getting and using the ports
+collection are documented in the FreeBSD Handbook at:
+
+ https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ports-using.html
+
+.. note::
+
+ Testing has been performed using FreeBSD* 10.0-RELEASE (x86_64) and requires the
+ installation of the kernel sources, which should be included during the
+ installation of FreeBSD*.
+
+Installing the Intel® DPDK FreeBSD Port
+---------------------------------------
+
+On a system with the ports collection installed in /usr/ports, the Intel® DPDK
+can be installed using the commands:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ root@host:~ # cd /usr/ports/net/dpdk
+
+ root@host:~ # make install
+
+After the installation of the Intel® DPDK port, instructions will be printed on
+how to install the kernel modules required to use the Intel® DPDK. A more
+complete version of these instructions can be found in the sections
+:ref:`loading_contigmem` and :ref:`loading_nic_uio`. Normally, lines like
+those below would be added to the file "/boot/loader.conf".
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ # reserve 2 x 1G blocks of contiguous memory using contigmem driver
+ hw.contigmem.num_buffers=2
+ hw.contigmem.buffer_size=1073741824
+ contigmem_load="YES"
+ # identify NIC devices for Intel® DPDK apps to use and load nic_uio driver
+ hw.nic_uio.bdfs="2:0:0,2:0:1"
+ nic_uio_load="YES"
+
+Compiling and Running the Example Applications
+----------------------------------------------
+
+When the Intel® DPDK has been installed from the ports collection it installs
+its example applications in "/usr/local/share/dpdk/examples" - also accessible via
+symlink as "/usr/local/share/examples/dpdk". These examples can be compiled and
+run as described in :ref:`compiling_sample_apps`. In this case, the required
+environmental variables should be set as below:
+
+* RTE_SDK=/usr/local/share/dpdk
+
+* RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-bsdapp-clang
+
+.. note::
+
+ To install a copy of the Intel® DPDK compiled using gcc, please download the
+ official Intel® DPDK package from http://dpdk.org/ and install manually using
+ the instructions given in the next chapter, :ref:`building_from_source`
+
+An example application can therefore be copied to a user's home directory and
+compiled and run as below:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ user@host:~$ export RTE_SDK=/usr/local/share/dpdk
+
+ user@host:~$ export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-bsdapp-clang
+
+ user@host:~$ cp -r /usr/local/share/dpdk/examples/helloworld .
+
+ user@host:~$ cd helloworld/
+
+ user@host:~/helloworld$ gmake
+ CC main.o
+ LD helloworld
+ INSTALL-APP helloworld
+ INSTALL-MAP helloworld.map
+
+ user@host:~/helloworld$ sudo ./build/helloworld -c F -n 2

+.. note::
+
+ To run an Intel® DPDK process as a non-root user, adjust the permissions on
+ the /dev/contigmem and /dev/uio device nodes as described in section
+ :ref:`running_non_root`
+
+.. note::
+ For an explanation of the command-line parameters that can be passed to an
+ Intel® DPDK application, see section :ref:`running_sample_app`.
