Hi,
I recently installed GhostBSD on to one of my desktops. I want to use this GhostBSD machine for software development/coding. Obviously I want to program in C++ and I'm currently trying to download the clang compiler for BSD but it's being weird. I looked it up on YouTube but there weren't any relevant results.
Please help me with this.
