I'm trying to find a way to install AnyDesk on FreeBSD 15. I can download a .tar file. But how do I install it on the FreeBSD 15. I only know how to install packages using the ports tree and the "pkg install" method.
 
Go to https://anydesk.com/en/downloads/freebsd and download the file, which it seems you've done. Then untar it with tar xvf anydesk-freebsd-whatever. You'll see a README. The README tells you you will need a mounted /proc and gives you two ways to do it.

Then, you can just run the binary. It's already got 755 permissions, so right from that directory you can run ./anydesk.

If you like, you can put it in your usual PATH, e.g., /usr/local/bin or $HOME/bin. Then you can run it with the command anydesk.
 
scottro Thank you for the guidance. Sorry for the late reply.. I've been trying by clicking on it, right click and 'run executable' and even then trying to run in terminal.. Finally found this error.
Shared object "libgtkglext-x11-1.0.so.0" not found, required by "anydesk"
Click to expand...
I did a 'pkg search' and came across gtkglext
Code: 
pkg install gtkglext
Now when I right click and say 'Run Executable' it works. Since I run KDE, I will put it in Autostart so that it starts up on every login.
