Installing Joe 3.1 - On FreeBSD 4.7

[jsimmonds]

Hi I am a newbie, just wondering if people can tell me how to install Joe 3.1 on my FreeBSD 4.7 System?

The Joe files are in a tar.gz format.

I need the steps and as much detail as possible.

Or I need a website, that explains how to install it simply.

You don't need to install it manually with a tar.gz. Just use the ports collection:

[9:51] frankel:~% whereis joe
joe: /usr/ports/editors/joe
[9:51] frankel:~% cd /usr/ports/editors/joe
[9:52] frankel:joe% make install clean

If you don't have a ports tree, install the package:

[9:56] frankel:~% pkg_add -r joe

Either way, you have to be root to install it though.

For more info on installing software, take a look at the Handbook:
