[FreeBSD] pkg_add help

[Renato Marques]

    Hi,
    Packages and ports are diferent.

    A package is already compiled aplication and you will use
    pkg_add - To install
    pkg_delete - To deinstall
    pkg_info - To view packages that are instaled.

so, you will install it using

pkg_add packagename.tbz
