Now you can run python now: 

    1. # python
    2. Python 2.7.11 (default, Jun  5 2016, 01:23:11)
    3. Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

    This introduces another installation method: using ports. This method will download, compile and install from source code, and the benefit of this approach is you can do some customizations if you want. You can find all ports under /usr/ports directory. Now you begin to install py-bsddb (follow this method to set up py-gdbm, and py-tkinter): 

    1. # make install clean

    The other method is installing from DVD:
    (1) Put DVD in the drive;
    (2) Mount DVD: 

    1. mkdir -p /dist
