# Installing on FreeBSD

## From package

FreeBSD offers two versions of Varnish pre-packaged:

    pkg install varnish6

or, if for some reason you want the older version:

    pkg install varnish4

## From ports

The FreeBSD packages are built out of the “ports” tree, and you can install varnish directly from ports if you prefer, for instance to get a newer version of Varnish than the current set of prebuilt packages provide:

    cd /usr/ports/www/varnish6
    make all install clean
