``py -m cutadapt`` instead of just ``cutadapt``.


FreeBSD ports and pkgsrc
------------------------

Cutadapt can be installed via the FreeBSD ports system.
To install from a binary package, run::

pkg install py39-cutadapt

The ``p39`` will change from time to time (``py310``, ``py311`` etc.).
Alternatively, peruse the `FreeBSD ports documentation <https://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html>`_
to install from source, which may result in better optimized binaries.

To install a binary package via the pkgsrc system (for example on NetBSD), run ::

pkgin install py311-cutadapt

The pkgsrc system also allows installation from source,
see the `https://pkgsrc.org/ <pkgsrc home page>`_.


Shared installation (on a cluster)

I would mention that pkgsrc works on all POSIX systems. I initially got into pkgsrc for our CentOS-based HPC clusters and now use it heavily on macOS.

"...installation from source on any POSIX platform...".
