To install Ergo on FreeBSD Latest, follow the steps outlined below:
Before installing any software, make sure that the available packages repository is updated with the latest versions. This can be done by running the following command in the terminal:

Ergo requires the following dependencies to be installed on the system:
To install the above-mentioned dependencies, enter the following commands one by one:
$ sudo pkg install openjdk8 git maven
Next, clone the Ergo codebase from the official repository using Git. Run the following command in the terminal to clone the codebase to your local machine:
$ git clone https://github.com/ergoplatform/ergo.git
After the Ergo codebase has been cloned, navigate to the cloned directory using the command below:
$ cd ergo
Now, build Ergo using Maven with the following command:
$ mvn clean package
After the build process is complete, install Ergo to your system using the command below:

Replace <version> with the actual version of Ergo that you built in Step 4.
To verify that Ergo has been installed successfully, run the following command in the terminal:
