How to install Node.js in PCBSD 10.3 - 11.0

Question

I'm trying to install Node.js in PC-BSD but the directory /usr/ports seems to be empty

Using the instructions in this link, I tried:

pkg install node

But I get this error:

Is there a working way to do that ?

Answer 1

As far as I remember you must specify node.js’ category.

I haven't used FreeBSD in a while, but I think it's under 'www' or 'lang'. You would have to do:

pkg install www/node 

or

pkg install lang/node  

If you want, you can bookmark this FreeBSD page.
