Just started with FreeBSD and I am not sure whether I need to be root to install programs or not? For example, the manual for installing X11 never says that we should issue su
command.
However - it does not work without being a root, so my current solution is to add my account to wheel
group, and do su
whenever I do pkg_add -r
or anything. Is this the "best practice" in unix?
The handbook does really talk about it in the user accounts section. Any tips appreciated.
