How to install packages

GuMgUmOk

hi guys,
How do I install the components.(python, scapy, mysql-server, php-mysql) on 2.0.1-RELEASE-pfSense (i386)
thanx

heper

i'm guessing the same way you do those things on any freebsd based system.

i would however advice you to not install them. any additional software will reduce the security of your pfsense system. Running a firewall with open doors is fairly pointless imho

I'm getting constant error. stable components does not work.
Can I get a photo of installation steps?

You're a little sparse on package details, but I believe it's due to you trying to install packages from the -STABLE branch package repository on a machine running the 8.1-RELEASE-p6 version of FreeBSD.

Like heper said, it's not a good idea anyway. pfSense is a firewall, let it do its job and get another computer to run FreeBSD on.

Security is not a problem with. I want to test on pfsense.
I use these commands;

pkg_add -r pyhton

# pkg_add -r py25-bsddb
# pkg_add -r py25-gdbm
# pkg_add -r py25-sqlite3
# pkg_add -r py25-tkinter

pkg_add -r scapy

and install mysql-server this link(http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,41243.0.html)

pkg_add php5-mysql

especially in the last package I'm having trouble.

I'm working on a local network :)

Thank you for your answers.

If your trying to use the url from that mysql thread - its changed.. You would pull 8.1 stuff from archive now.
