14 The pkg-install command installs the specified packages (the first
15 form), all the held packages (the second form, see bpkg-pkg-status(1)),
16 or all the held packages that match any of the specified wildcard pat‐
17 terns (the third form). Additionally, immediate or all dependencies of
18 these packages can be also installed by specifying the --immediate|-i
19 or --recursive|-r options, respectively. Underneath, this command
20 doesn't do much more than run b install. In the first form the speci‐
21 fied packages must have been previously configured with bpkg-pkg-
22 build(1) or bpkg-pkg-configure(1).
23 Additional command line variables (vars, normally config.*) can be
25 passed to the build system. Such variables apply to all the specified
26 packages but can also be specified to only apply to specific packages
27 using the argument grouping mechanism (see bpkg-argument-grouping(1)
28 for details). In particular, this mechanism can be used to specify the
29 installation directory, for example:
30 bpkg install config.install.root=/usr/local \
32 config.install.sudo=sudo \
33 libfoo libbar
34 Alternatively, the installation directory can be specified once when
36 creating the configuration (bpkg-cfg-create(1)).
37
39 --all|-a
40 Install all held packages.
41 --all-pattern pattern
43 Install held packages that match the specified wildcard pattern.
44 Repeat this option to match multiple patterns. Note that you may
45 need to quote the pattern to prevent expansion by your shell.
46 --immediate|-i
48 Also install immediate dependencies.
49 --recursive|-r
51 Also install all dependencies, recursively.
52 --directory|-d dir
54 Assume configuration is in dir rather than in the current work‐
55 ing directory.
