Installing software in FreeBSD is very easy if you use the ports tree. To use the ports tree you will first need to [[Installing the Ports Tree | install]] it. If you have the ports tree installed on your system you should try and keep it [[Update the ports tree | updated]] with the most recent software.<br />
<br />
Remember you can always get help with ports by typing:<br />
> '''man ports'''<br />
<br />
To install a specific program you can [[Searching ports | search]] the ports tree to see if there is a port.<br />
> '''cd /usr/ports/'''<br />
> '''make search name=bash<br />
(listing of all the ports that have 'bash' in their '''name''')<br />
> '''make search key=bash'''<br />
(listing of all the ports that have 'bash' anywhere in the '''description''')<br />
<br />
The top command will return a number of results that look something like:<br />
Port: bash-2.05b.007_2<br />
Path: /usr/ports/shells/bash2<br />
Info: The GNU Bourne Again Shell<br />
Maint: obrien@FreeBSD.org<br />
B-deps: <br />
R-deps:<br />
<br />
This listing tells you where the port you want to install is, in this case it is in shells/bash2. Now there are a number of things you can do to install a port such as<br />
> '''cd /usr/ports/shells/bash2'''<br />
> '''make install'''<br />
(this will download, compile, and install the port and all of its dependencies)<br />
> '''make clean'''<br />
(this will clean up the port directory as well as dependencies after an install)<br />
> '''make distclean'''<br />
(same as clean but will remove the distfiles for the ports aswell)<br />
> '''make extract'''<br />
(this will just extract the port to a ./work drectory)<br />
> '''make depends'''<br />
(this will install (or compile) all of the dependencies of the current port)<br />
> '''make install distclean'''<br />
(commands can be written in sequence like this one to install a port then distclean)<br />
<br />
Ports can also be deinstalled easily<br />
> '''cd /usr/ports/shells/bash2'''<br />
> '''make deinstall'''<br />
<br />
If a port can't be deinstalled or installed, verify that it is a port and not a [[Package]]. If it's a port or you're having other problems, see [[Port Install Troubleshooting]]<br />

This is a fledgling wikipedia devoted primarily to common issues faced by new and veteran FreeBSD administrators. The goal is to create a common knowledge store which could also be referred to as "FreeBSD for the Impatient", in other words, a place where it is easy to delve straight into simple answers about common needs and problems relating to both FreeBSD servers and their integration into other types of networks.<br />

<div>In order to get sound out of your FreeBSD box, you'll need to either load your sound driver module or compile sound support in your kernel -- it's not installed by default. For this you need to use [[kldload]] to load your sound driver. If you don't know which sound card you have -- and therefore don't know which driver to use -- you can load the generic [[snd_driver]] module (in 5.x systems -- in 4.x you need to load the [[snd]] module) like so:<br />
samizdata# kldload snd_driver <br />
<br />
[[snd_driver]] will work for most cards.<br />

<br />
also, http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mozilla/2003-September/000048.html suggests that you would need to install the linux version of mozilla/firefox/whatever and then install the linux jre/jdk and copy the relevant .so from the java dir to your ~/.mozilla/plugins dir (see the first page if that doesn't work for you though...)<br />

<br />
Sorry, using FreeBsd version 5.x which your first link claims to be incompatible.<br />
<br />
Yet some people claim to have installed it, somehow. How is it done?<br />
<br />
<br />
About your project help, if you install the mplayer plugin you can watch .WMV in firefox or mozilla, you just need to have the codecs installed properlly, see [[Mplayer Installation]]. --[[User:Nvrmnd|Nvrmnd]] 00:39, 15 Jan 2005 (EST)</div>Nvrmndhttp://www.freebsdwiki.net/index.php/User:NvrmndUser:Nvrmnd2005-01-15T05:31:30Z<p>Nvrmnd: </p>

<hr />
<div>see also [[Mplayer]]<br />
<br />
This is a quick guide to installing the Mplayer port.<br />
<br />
(optional) Before you install Mplayer you should probably get the codecs that you want from [http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/dload.html mplayerhq.hu] and put them in /usr/local/lib/codecs. Note the disclaimer: ''There is absolutely no warranty of any kind for these codec packages. Copyrights of all DLLs remain with their respective owner(s). You should be aware that some of these DLLs have licenses that restrict them to use with certain programs. We only distribute them, the rest is your responsibility.''<br />
<br />
> '''su'''<br />
Password: (enter root password)<br />
> '''mkdir /usr/local/lib/codecs'''<br />
> '''cd /tmp/'''<br />
> '''wget http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20050115.tar.bz2'''<br />
> '''bunzip2 all-20050115.tar.bz2'''<br />
> '''tar -xf all-20050115.tar'''<br />
> '''cd /usr/local/lib/codecs'''<br />
> '''cp /tmp/all-20050115/* .'''<br />
<br />
Now installing Mplayer can be as complicated as you want the following example is very simple.<br />
<br />
> '''su'''<br />
Password: (enter root password)<br />
> '''cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer'''<br />
> '''make WITH_GUI=yes install clean'''<br />
<br />
Before you run Mplayer you need to install the fonts,<br />
<br />
> '''cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer-fonts'''<br />
> '''make install clean'''<br />
<br />
create your user settings, <br />
> '''su nvrmnd'''<br />
Password: (enter nvrmnd's password)<br />
> '''cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer'''<br />
> '''make install-user'''<br />
> '''cp /usr/local/share/mplayer/codecs.conf ~/.mplayer/'''<br />
> '''cp /usr/local/share/mplayer/example.conf ~/.mplayer/config'''<br />
> '''cp /usr/local/share/mplayer/input.conf ~/.mplayer'''<br />
<br />

<div>'''Regular expressions''' are used to express a subset of strings and can be used almost everywhere in FreeBSD and other *nix's. See also [[sed]]<br />

<hr />
<div>Equivalent to Windows' [[dir]]. [[ls]] is commonly used with [[flags]] or [[switches]] to alter its behaviour and/or output. Flags can be given as separate switches ('''ls -a -l /etc/''') but can be combined to make things faster ('''ls -la'''). [[ls]] takes pretty much the whole alphabet as a flag, but you'll likely never need or want to use more than say 5 or 6 different flags.<br />
<br />
==Most common flags:==<br />
-a -- lists ''all'' files, including hidden files<br />
-l -- gives long listing, including [[permissions]], [[owner]], [[group]] and size<br />
-F -- shows a slash ('''/''') immediately after each directory, <br />
an asterisk ('''*''') after executable files, <br />
an at sign ('''@''') after symbolic links, <br />
an equals sign ('''=''') after sockets, <br />
a percent sign ('''%''') after whiteouts, <br />
and a [[pipe]] ('''|''') after a [[FIFO]].<br />
-R -- list subdirectories encountered recursively<br />
-h -- When used with the -l option, use unit suffixes for sizes so as to make them human-readable. <br />
No, Virgina, you do not need to count everything in bytes.<br />
-c -- sort files by the last time file state was changed/modified<br />
-u -- sort files by the last time the file was accessed<br />
<br />
==Using ls with other programs==<br />
[[ls]] can (and is) used in conjunction with [[grep]] by using a [[pipe]] to send [[ls]] output -- which can easily fill your screen with enough entries to make you cross-eyed -- to more easily find what you're looking for. To give an example, let's say you're looking for a file that begins with '''name''' in your /etc directory. Doing an '''ls /etc''' gives you far too many entries and '''ls -l''' the same thing but scrolling past you even faster. You could do a<br />
dave@samizdata% '''ls | more'''<br />
and look for all files that begin with '''name'''. But why waste your time going over each entry?<br />
dave@samizdata% '''ls -la | grep name'''<br />
will give you a long list of all files that contain the string '''name'''.<br />
