I am trying to install Xdebug on FreeNAS. I thought the process was similar to other Linux distros. However, when I followed that process nothing happens. The command i used to install is :

Code:
sudo apt install php-xdebug;


I followed this tutorial: https://www.cloudways.com/blog/php-debug-with-xdebug/

Can someone point out the right tutorial for FreeNAS

If you want to use your FreeNAS system to run other software then you will need to understand some things first.

FreeNAS is not a "Linux distro" (where did you get that idea???)

FreeNAS is, primarily, a storage appliance. You don't just install arbitrary software into it.

FreeNAS can however provide an environment in which you can install and run other software like this. You will need to set up either:

1) a jail,, which gives you a full FreeBSD environment to work in; or

2) a virtual machine, into which you can install your choice of operating system.

Both options are explained in the FreeNAS manual which is where you ought to start.
