1. OS things and stuff..

FreeBSD installation give you only a minimum bootable OS

so, logging as "root":

a) Install "bash", "zip", "unzip", "nano" and "sudo"

pkg install -y bash zip unzip nano sudo xorg

b) Install one or more Desktops, at this test we install "gnome3", "mate", "xfce" and "kde"

pkg install -y gnome3 gnome-desktop
pkg install -y mate mate-desktop
pkg install -y xfce xfce4-desktop
pkg install -y kde

c) Setup /etc/rc.conf

nano /etc/rc.conf

and add:

moused_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES
gdm_enable="YES"

d) Add installation user to group "wheel"

pw groupmod wheel -m username

Reboot and logging as simple user...

2. Preparation-Give "sudo" root privileges

Open a terminal and exec

sunano /usr/local/etc/sudoers

add at the end of /usr/local/etc/sudoers 1 line

username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Ctl-X to exit and Y to save

3. Download-Unzip-Install

Open a terminal, and go to new CodeTyphonIns directory

cd CodeTyphonIns

Start CodeTyphon Installation with command

sh ./install.sh

Give zero "0" to Install CodeTyphon

4. Setup and Build (GTK2)

We don't change GTK2 Platform, MATE desktop based on GTK2.

It's the first installation of CodeTyphon on this PC, so we install "system libraries" select "0".
