====== 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.

<WRAP info>
**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/.
