Installing Applications

In GhostBSD, software can be installed with pkg add, pkg install or software-station:

The pkg add 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 pkg install 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.
