Getting MRI Ports

For quick info on using the ports system, type "man ports".

Ultimately, most of the MRI tools we use here will be committed to the FreeBSD ports tree. Ports that are not yet committed can be downloaded here. Note that there will be some lag time before updates are committed to the main FreeBSD ports tree. If you can't wait for the latest version of a port or package, you can always come back here to see if a newer version of the tree and/or package is available.

Note also that ports may have dependencies. All dependencies for ports on this site are available on this site as well, if they aren't committed FreeBSD ports already. For example, AFNI depends on OpenMotif, a committed FreeBSD port, which can be installed using pkg_add -r OpenMotif or as a port in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/open-motif. When installing from ports, or by using pkg_add -r, dependencies are automatically downloaded and installed as well. Caret depends on vtk-5.0, while the committed vtk port uses version 4.4. Hence, a vtk-5.0 port is provided here.
