A FreeBSD port `www/gitea` is available. To install the pre-built binary package:
```
pkg install gitea
```
For the most up to date version, or to build the port with custom options,
[install it from the port ](https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ports-using.html ):
```
su -
cd /usr/ports/www/gitea
make install clean
```
The port uses the standard FreeBSD file system layout: config files are in `/usr/local/etc/gitea` ,
bundled templates, options, plugins and themes are in `/usr/local/share/gitea` , and a start script
is in `/usr/local/etc/rc.d/gitea` .
To enable Gitea to run as a service, run `sysrc gitea_enable=YES` and start it with `service gitea start` .
## Third-party
Various other third-party packages of Gitea exist.
