Abstract
Chapter 9 introduced you to Ports Console, which provides a safe environment for installing software that has been ported to FreeBSD on your PC-BSD system. Chapter 9 also demonstrated how to find, install, and manage FreeBSD packages. Although FreeBSD packages are managed from the command line, they are relatively easy to use and are considered the recommended way to install additional software that is not currently available within the PBI system.
