No?

cd packages/fcl-registry
fppkg install

That's it. It will also re-compile and install all packages that depend 
on fcl-registry.

Use 'fppkg install -o -gl' when you need debug-info.

Your fppkg configuration has to be correct, though. Which is the case 
when you used the fpc-installer.

If it does not work, use 'fppkg listsettings' and check the results.
