+# Install Netdata on FreeBSD
+
+> 💡 This document is maintained by Netdata's community, and may not be completely up-to-date. Please double-check the
+> details of the installation process, such as version numbers for downloadable packages, before proceeding.

+
+## Install latest version
+
+This is how to install the latest Netdata version on FreeBSD:
+
+Install required packages (**need root permission**):
+
+```sh
+pkg install bash e2fsprogs-libuuid git curl autoconf automake pkgconf pidof Judy liblz4 libuv json-c cmake gmake
+```
+
+Download Netdata:
+
+```sh
+fetch https://github.com/netdata/netdata/releases/download/v1.26.0/netdata-v1.26.0.tar.gz
+```
+
+> ⚠️ Verify the latest version by either navigating to [Netdata's latest
+> release](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/releases/latest) or using `curl`:
+>
+> ```bash
+> basename $(curl -Ls -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} https://github.com/netdata/netdata/releases/latest)
+> ```
+
+Unzip the downloaded file:
+
+```sh
+gunzip netdata*.tar.gz && tar xf netdata*.tar && rm -rf netdata*.tar
+```
+
+Install Netdata in `/opt/netdata`. If you want to enable automatic updates, add `--auto-update` or `-u` to install `netdata-updater` in `cron` (**need root permission**):
+
+```sh
+cd netdata-v* && ./netdata-installer.sh --install /opt && cp /opt/netdata/usr/sbin/netdata-claim.sh /usr/sbin/
+```
+
+You also need to enable the `netdata` service in `/etc/rc.conf`:
+
+```sh
+sysrc netdata_enable="YES"
+```
+
+Finally, and very importantly, update Netdata using the script provided by the Netdata team (**need root permission**):
+
+```sh
+cd /opt/netdata/usr/libexec/netdata/ && ./netdata-updater.sh
+```
+
+You can now access the Netdata dashboard by navigating to `http://NODE:19999`, replacing `NODE` with the IP address or hostname of your system.

+
+From Netdata v1.12 and above, anonymous usage information is collected by default and sent to Google Analytics. To read
+more about the information collected and how to opt-out, check the [anonymous statistics
+page](/docs/anonymous-statistics.md).
+
+## Updating the Agent on FreeBSD
+If you have not passed the `--auto-update` or `-u` parameter for the installer to enable automatic updating, repeat the last step to update Netdata whenever a new version becomes available. 
+The `netdata-updater.sh` script will update your Agent.
