Installing Applications


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

  • GhostBSD's pkg_add is the command, used to extract packages, that have been previously created with the pkg_create command. pkg_add 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 pkg_add 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.
