-----------------------------+---------------------------
 The "Download for Linux/Unix" page lists as install method for FreeBSD
 `portinstall -s security/tor`

 This does not work on an out-of-the-box FreeBSD installation since
 `portinstall` is part of the ports-mgmt/portupgrade port which must thus
 be installed prior to the installation of tor.

 Since FreeBSD 9.1 the binary package management tool `pkg` (AKA pkgng) has
 been available for FreeBSD, all currently supported FreeBSD versions
 contain the `pkg` utility in the base system. The canonical way to install
 tor is therefor

 `pkg install tor`

 This will download and install the latest available binary package for
 tor.
