Installing MC (Midnight Commander) on pfSense 2.5

[djRicky]

I get best results using MC Light rather than full MC.

For pfSense 2.5 with FreeBSD 12 check last version of every pkg at http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All
and install in the following order:
1.) libsigsegv
2.) gawk
3.) mc-light

Until today the commands are:
pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/libsigsegv-2.12.txz
pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/gawk-5.0.0.txz
pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/mc-light-4.1.40.p9_11.txz

After all, you can find MC installed at /usr/local/bin

For pfSense 2.4.x (FreeBSD 11) check pkg versions at http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All

You might run rehash after loading those so the command become available directly.
