```

Or follow the [deployment from binary]({{< relref "from-binary.en-us.md" >}}) guide.

## macOS

Currently, the only supported method of installation on MacOS is [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/).
Following the [deployment from binary]({{< relref "from-binary.en-us.md" >}}) guide may work,
but is not supported. To install Gitea via `brew`:

```
brew tap gitea/tap https://gitea.com/gitea/homebrew-gitea
brew install gitea
```

## FreeBSD

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.
To see a curated list, head over to [awesome-gitea](https://gitea.com/gitea/awesome-gitea/src/branch/master/README.md#user-content-packages).
