PFSense - Packages - Install Package Manually

The latest compiled build of packages for FreeBSD can be found at https://pkg.freebsd.org.

Find the package you want, and copy the link.

NOTE: To find the package you must first know the version of FreeBSD your pfSense software is on.

This can be done by going to the System Information widget on the pfSense Dashboard under the Version section.

At the package site, select your FreeBSD version, latest, All.

For example, with pfSense 2.4.5, the FreeBSD version is shown as 11-3. so the package you need might be located at https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/.

SSH into pfSense

NOTE: Ensure that SSH is enabled in System → Advanced.

Press 8 to enter the console.

pkg add -f <the link to the package copied from the FreeBSD package website above>
