How to install package manager?

[r1c4ard06]

I would just like to say what a great forum and hello.

I am a complete newbie so please bare with me sooo much to learn.

I have managed to install FreeBSD 7.x, Xorg and KDE4 in the last couple of days however when I start KDE4 there is no package manager how would I install adept? I have tried a lot of searching but unfortunately most posts are about problems with adept rather than installation.

With thanks in advance.

Adept is for Linux, it does not work on FreeBSD.

Is there a package manager I can use with KDE4 ? as I am starting out the GUI makes life a little easier for me

PC-BSD 8.x package manager is available in ports and requires KDE/QT, the PC-BSD 9.x package manager would be using only QT.

You can try ports-mgmt/bxpkg But note, that it's in early stage of development (it's using GTK, but who cares qt or gtk, you will use them bough eventually)

Thank you for your replies will give them a go

Forget about GUIs, just use the standard tools.

agree, but bxpkg is very addictive.....

ports-mgmt/kpackagekit might be an option...
