      Hello everyone !
      I had a problem trying to install Composer for some PHP tests, I couldn't install it since the PHAR extension is missing from pfSense system. so I went to search if there's any PHAR packages and I found none. the only solution I found on internet had to be with portsnap command, but I can't find it in my system either. I'm trying to add it and start using ports like other FreeBSDs but I have no clues in how to do so.

      Note : I went to FreeBSD community forum and asked but they said that pfSense version of FreeBSD is different so they don't include it in their dicussions

      Can anyone please help me please , am really stuck in here

      thank you so much !

        You almost certainly should not be doing whatever you're trying to do on the firewall. It's not meant to be a general purpose web server or scripting host.

            I'd go for FreeRadius on another machine, and then set pfSense to use the external Freeradius
