hello DragonFlyBSD!
- avoid pushing people to use DPorts, as we have `pkg` :)

+# 1. Bootstrap `pkg`
+
+DragonFlyBSD's daily snapshots and releases (starting with 3.4) come with `pkg` already installed. Upgrades from earlier releases, however, will not have it.
+
+If `pkg` is missing on the system for any reason, it can be quickly bootstrapped without having to build it from source or even having **DPorts** installed:
+
+```
+cd /usr
+make pkg-bootstrap
+rehash
+pkg-static install -y pkg
+rehash
+```
+
+### 1.1. Recommended Steps to Setup `pkg`
+
+Here, it will be similar to what we have on a **FreeBSD** system, and we are going to use HTTPS to fetch our packages, and updates - so here we also need an extra package to help us out (ca_root_nss).
+
+Installing the `ca_root_nss` package:
+
+```
+pkg install ca_root_nss
+```
+
+For fresh installations, the file `/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/df-latest.conf.sample` is copied to `/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/df-latest`. The files ending in the ".sample" extension are ignored; pkg(8) only reads files that end in ".conf" and it will read as many as it finds.
+
+DragonflyBSD has 2 packages repositories:
+
+ - Avalon (mirror-master.dragonflybsd.org);
+ - Wolfpond (pkg.wolfpond.org).
+
+We can simply edit the **URL** used to point out the repositories on `/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/df-latest` and that's it! Remember to use **pkg+https://** for Avalon.
+
+After applying all these changes, we update the packages list again and try to check if there's already a new update to apply:
+
+```
+pkg update -f
+pkg upgrade -y -f
+```
+
+# 2. Install `tor` DragonflyBSD's Package
+
+Here we can choose to install the latest stable version, like:
+
+```
+pkg install tor
+```
+
+ ... or install an alpha release:
+
+
+```
+pkg install tor-devel
+```
+
+# 3. Configure `/usr/local/etc/tor/torrc`
+
+This is a very simple version of the `torrc` configuration file in order to run a Middle/Guard relay on the Tor network:
+
+```
+Nickname myBSDRelay # Change your relay's nickname to something you like
+ContactInfo your at email # Please write your email address and be aware that it will be published
+ORPort 443 # You might want to use/try a different port, should you want to
+ExitRelay 0
+SocksPort 0
+Log notice syslog
+```
+
+# 4. Start `tor`:
+
+Here we set `tor` to start at boot time and use the setuid feature, in order to bind to lower ports like 443 (the daemon itself will still run as a regular non-privileged user).
+
+```
+echo "tor_setuid=YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
+echo "tor_enable=YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
+service tor start
+```
+
+# 5. Final Notes
+
+If you are having troubles setting up your relay, have a look at our [help section](/relay/getting-help/). If your relay is now running, check out the [post-install](/relay/setup/post-install/) notes.
