Explanation
For beginners with GhostBSD it is a bit confusing which package manager is now working on my computer.
For now pkgng is like a synonym for pkg.
It describes, that the package manager pkgng is a new version and designed to work with versions of FreeBSD starting with 10.X. see also 4.4.1. Getting Started with pkg on the FreeBSD Handbook
That means:
To install a package with the older version of pkg you had to write:
pkg_add package name
With the new generation of pkg you have to write:
pkg install package name
