?>**Note on FreeBSD**:
It is suggested to run `qmk setup` as a non-`root` user to start with, but this will likely identify packages that need to be installed to your
base system using `pkg`. However the installation will probably fail when run as an unprivileged user.
To manually install the base dependencies, run `./util/qmk_install.sh` either as `root`, or with `sudo`.
Once that completes, re-run `qmk setup` to complete the setup and checks.
