I wanted to try out FreeBSD from a live image (on a USB stick) before I installed it. I thought of installing Neofetch to check the system specs. It is a release version but it didn't have the package manager pkg (I found that weird coming from Linux background). It said:




A pre-built version of 'pkg' could not be found for your system. Consider changing PACKAGEFILE or installing it from ports : :ports-mgmt/pkg'




This is where I get stuck. I downloaded the .xz file, which is the repository where I thought the PKG source is. Am I correct? If not, how should I download it from the online repository?
