Freebsd software?

ok i downloadet the tbz file i extrakted it, then i see a folder in the folder there are some datas but no pkg file what do i have to do ?

just want to download a pkg file
 
What if I tell you that pkg_add automatically downloads tbz files and installs them in one go?

Have you tried [cmd=]pkg_add -r bash[/cmd] already?
 
Sigh... Luckily there's a whole box of my meds nearby....

If you have trouble reading and understanding English the handbook is available in quite a number of translations.
 
I suggest the OP reads online guides
which would be found by searching the following...
(If I had to do it over again, I'd use a 100-page
notebook with one topic per page, to list links, CLI
examples, etc, as the HTM I save from sites I usually
never get around to re-reading...)
... cvsup ports tree
... upgrade selected ports
... make commmands (make build, make install, make deinstall
... blogs or guides mentioning portmanager, portmaster...
or even the pdf book (or two) that is avail.
Since they would explain a lot more than we could in less time.
(Unless a post or two in the HOWTO section already covers it)
 
Now would be a good time to read the pkg_add man page, the Handbook chapters on installing software, and actually trying what's listed in them.

For example, if you had read the man page, you would know that you install .tbz files like so: pkg_add /path/to/package.tbz

You would also know that there is no such thing as ".pkg" files for FreeBSD.

You would also know that you don't install software by double-clicking on it.

And you would also know a lot more about how things work.

Now, please, go and do the things that people have been suggesting!!!
