FreeBSD Port/Distribution Installation

[Travel 360]

I was unable to upload the pkg directory, but I see in the directory there
were many programs installed.
I am unable to run any of them. like for example i cannot run elm either. I
should just be able to run it by typing
elm at the prompt but I am getting an error message. any help will be
helpful.

--Singh.
