Default Running gnome-3.24.2 on OpenBSD

Hello the next step what would ask is about Gnome.Before I used KDE .In KDE is easy to install packages and just start KDE
But Gnome make me trouble.Instruction for me is not clear .There are someone who had experience with Gnome .Step by step show hot to start Gnome at OpenBSD 6.2
##################
1.# pkg_add -i -vv gnome-session-2.30.2p3.tgz
2.# pkg_add -i -vv gdm-2.20.11p1.tgz
3.nano /etc/rc.local

Append/modify the following lines in /etc/rc.local:
1
2
3

if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/gdm ]; then
echo -n ' gdm'; (sleep 5; /usr/local/sbin/gdm) &
fi

4.su
# pkg_add -i -vv metacity-2.30.1p1.tgz
# pkg_add -i -vv gnome-panel-2.30.2p2.tgz
# pkg_add -i -vv nautilus-2.30.1p2.tgz


5.There are good chances that if you reboot, xdm is still started, and/or the FVWM window manager is still displaying instead of Gnome Desktop. So do the following :
1

# nano /etc/rc.conf.local

Append/modify the following lines :
1
2
3

xdm_flags=NO
gnome_enable=YES
gdm_enable=YES

If you want, you can now start Gnome by rebooting or typing:
1

$ startx

6.$ su
# pkg_add -i -vv gnome-terminal-2.30.2p0.tgz
# pkg_add -i -vv gnome-control-center-2.30.1p0.tgz
# pkg_add -i -vv gnome-menus-2.30.2p0.tgz
# pkg_add -i -vv gnome-settings-daemon-2.30.2p1.tgz
# pkg_add -i -vv gnome-themes-2.30.2.tgz
# pkg_add -i -vv gnome-themes-extras-2.22.0p8.tgz
# pkg_add -i -vv gnome-utils-2.30.0p0.tgz
# pkg_add -i -vv gnome-applets2-2.30.0p2.tgz
# pkg_add -i -vv gnome-system-monitor-2.28.1p3.tgz
# pkg_add -i -vv gnome-nettool-2.30.0p0.tgz

7.Finally, reboot and enjoy your Gnome !
1

# reboot


There is any easy way to install Gnome .
