FreeBSD has a binary package manager (pkgng) that should feel much like apt. The ports tree still exists if you want to customize and build from source, but in general you should be fine just using pkg.
- JdeBP 10y agoThere's no "should" about it. It does feel like APT. (-: I invoke aptitude install on Debian and pkg install on FreeBSD/PC-BSD. dpkg -b stage/ target/ on Debian; pkg create -r stage/ -o target/ on FreeBSD/PC-BSD. Bear in mind, of course, that the SVID package management is a clear precursor to both of them.
