Manually loading packages

[robert.herrmann]

All,

I am a noob using pfSense and freebsd, so please be gentle.

I have a pfSense installation running version 2.4.1.  This system does not have access to the internet.  :(

I would like to install freeradius but am struggling.  I have managed to download the .pbi (freeradius-2.2.5_3-i386.pbi) and get it copied into pfSense machine into the /tmp directory.  But I cannot seem to find a way to install this.

Any help would be greatly apprciated.

Thanks

pfSense is using FreeBSD is it's base OS.
But differences exists : one of them is the package handling.

Wait …
Your posting on a public forum, right ?
Bring your system along the next time - update - upgrade - done.

This situation was mentioned some time ago. I guess it was completely abandoned.
I guess you have to connect  it at least ones ….

edit : wait !
I guess it possible - it probably a manual job, not or very badly documented. Get out of the noob phase and you'll be fine.
I asked the world for advise ( pfsense install package without internet connection ) - it came back with https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=130966.0
