In GhostBSD, software can be install with pkg_add or pkg-install or software-station:
 +
* ''GhostBSD's <code>pkg_add</code>'' is the command, used to extract packages, that have been previously created with the [https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg_create <code>pkg_create</code>] command. <code>pkg_add</code> is use to install a GhostBSD binary package from a local file or from a server on the network.
 +
* ''GhostBSD's Ports'' is one of the most useful features of GhostBSD, and it can be accessed via software-station.
 +
 +
This section demonstrates the following GhostBSD tools for managing software on your GhostBSD system:
 +
* ''FreeBSD <code>pkg_add</code>'' to manage and install software using the command line.
 +
* ''Software-station'' is used to install newer versions of software and update software already installed to apply security patches.
  
In GhostBSD, software can be installed with ''<code>[https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg-add&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+12.1-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=default&format=html pkg add]</code>'', ''<code>[https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg-install&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+12.1-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=default&format=html pkg install]</code>'' or [https://wiki.ghostbsd.org/index.php/Software_Station software-station]:
 
* The ''<code>pkg add</code>'' command is used to extract pre-built binary packages from a local file or from a remote server on the network. However, most users utilize ''<code>pkg install</code>'' to install applications from the official GhostBSD repository.
 
* There are over 32,000 applications in ''GhostBSD's Ports''. These applications can be readily accessed via software-station.
