+
+## Install prerequisites/dependencies
+
+To install Netdata on pfSense, first run the following command (within a shell or under the **Diagnostics/Command**
+prompt within the pfSense web interface).
+
+```bash
+pkg install -y pkgconf bash e2fsprogs-libuuid libuv nano
+```
+
+Then run the following commands to download various dependencies from the FreeBSD repository.
+
+```sh
+pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/Judy-1.0.5_2.txz
+pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/json-c-0.15_1.txz
+pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/py37-certifi-2020.6.20.txz
+pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/py37-asn1crypto-1.3.0.txz
+pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/py37-pycparser-2.20.txz
+pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/py37-cffi-1.14.3.txz
+pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/py37-six-1.15.0.txz
+pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/py37-cryptography-2.6.1.txz
+pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/py37-idna-2.10.txz
+pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/py37-openssl-19.0.0.txz
+pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/py37-pysocks-1.7.1.txz
+pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/py37-urllib3-1.25.11,1.txz
+pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/py37-yaml-5.3.1.txz
+```
+
+> ⚠️ If any of the above commands return a `Not Found` error, you need to manually search for the latest package in the
+> [FreeBSD repository](https://www.freebsd.org/ports/). Search for the package's name, such as `py37-cffi`, find the
+> latest version number, and update the command accordingly.
+
+> ⚠️ On pfSense 2.4.5, Python version 3.7 may be installed by the system, in which case you should should not install
+> Python from the FreeBSD repository as instructed above.
+
+> ⚠️ If you are using the `apcupsd` collector, you need to make sure that apcupsd is up before starting Netdata.
+> Otherwise a infinitely running `cat` process triggered by the default activated apcupsd charts plugin will eat up CPU
+> and RAM (`/tmp/.netdata-charts.d-*/run-*`). This also applies to `OPNsense`.
+
+## Install Netdata
+
+You can now install Netdata from the FreeBSD repository.
+
+```bash
+pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/netdata-1.28.0.txz
+```
+
+> ⚠️ If the above command returns a `Not Found` error, you need to manually search for the latest version of Netdata in
+> the [FreeBSD repository](https://www.freebsd.org/ports/). Search for `netdata`, find the latest version number, and
+> update the command accordingly.
+
+You must edit `/usr/local/etc/netdata/netdata.conf` and change `bind to = 127.0.0.1` to `bind to = 0.0.0.0`.
+
+To start Netdata manually, run `service netdata onestart`.
+
+Visit the Netdata dashboard to confirm it's working: `http://<pfsenseIP>:19999`
+
+To start Netdata automatically every boot, add `service netdata onestart` as a Shellcmd entry within the pfSense web
+interface under **Services/Shellcmd**. You'll need to install the Shellcmd package beforehand under **System/Package
+Manager/Available Packages**. The Shellcmd Type should be set to `Shellcmd`.

+<https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Installing_FreeBSD_Packages>, for achieving the same via the command line and
+scripts.
+
+If you experience an issue with `/usr/bin/install` being absent in pfSense 2.3 or earlier, update pfSense or use a
+workaround from <https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6643>  
+
+**Note:** In pfSense, the Netdata configuration files are located under `/usr/local/etc/netdata`.
