In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Open Source POS on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

A FreeBSD Latest server with root access
A terminal program on your computer

Steps

First, connect to your FreeBSD server via SSH.
Run the following command to update the package repository:
```
pkg update
```
Once the update is completed, install the Apache web server and PHP:
```
pkg install apache24 php74 php74-mysqli php74-pdo php74-pdo_mysql
```
Next, install Git to clone the Open Source POS repository:
```
pkg install git
```
Now, navigate to the directory where you want to install Open Source POS:
```
cd /usr/local/www/
```
Clone the Open Source POS repository with the following command:
```
git clone https://github.com/opensourcepos/opensourcepos.git
```
Once the clone is finished, change the ownership of the Open Source POS directory to the Apache user:
```
chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/opensourcepos
```

Next, open the Apache configuration file and add the following lines at the bottom:

Alias /opensourcepos "/usr/local/www/opensourcepos/"
<Directory "/usr/local/www/opensourcepos/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Save and close the file.

Restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:
```
service apache24 restart
```
Finally, open your web browser and enter the URL of your FreeBSD server followed by '/opensourcepos'. For example, if your server's IP address is 192.168.0.1, enter 'http://192.168.0.1/opensourcepos'. You should see the Open Source POS login page.
Log in with the default credentials: username 'admin' and password 'pointofsale'. It is recommended that you change the password after the first login.
