How do I install par2 without installing the SABnzbd plugin?

My server is a dual Xeon E5310 (4-core, 1.5 GHz base clock), but for some reason, even with Intel VT-x enabled in the BIOS, I haven't been able to get jails/plugins to install/work properly.

Given that, how do I install par2 where and when I can't install jails nor plugins due to a lack of virtualisation support on my Xeon CPUs?

When I try to type in:
sudo pkg install git automake openmp

I get:

Code:

Updating local repository catalogue...
pkg: file:///usr/ports/packages/meta.txz: No such file or directory
repository local has no meta file, using default settings
pkg: file:///usr/ports/packages/packagesite.txz: No such file or directory
Unable to update repository local
Error updating repositories!

Your help is greatly appreciated!

do pkg update && pkg upgrade and also this looks to be reading from the ports directory, so if thats the case build the ports tree portsnap fetch extract it takes awhile but you can install everything using ports.

Thank you.

I'll try that.

Looks like that I have to run the portsnap command first before trying to run pkg update.

Thanks.

*edit*
So I ran portsnap fetch extract and then when I tried to run sudo pkg update , I got the same error message as above.:

Code:

Updating local repository catalogue...
pkg: file:///usr/ports/packages/meta.txz: No such file or directory
repository local has no meta file, using default settings
pkg: file:///usr/ports/packages/packagesite.txz: No such file or directory
Unable to update repository local
Error updating repositories!

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

A quick update for everybody.

It looks like that the jail DID get set up properly.

I never was able to resolve the error messages:

Code:

Updating local repository catalogue...
pkg: file:///usr/ports/packages/meta.txz: No such file or directory
repository local has no meta file, using default settings
pkg: file:///usr/ports/packages/packagesite.txz: No such file or directory
Unable to update repository local
Error updating repositories!

so that I could install par2 without needing to install and setup the jail, but the jail eventually came up online, possibly after a couple of hours.

Thank you all for your help.
