I wanted to try out FreeBSD from a live image (on a USB stick) before I installed it. I thought of installing Neofetch to check the system specs. It is a release version but it didn't have the package manager pkg (I found that weird coming from Linux background). It said:

A pre-built version of 'pkg' could not be found for your system. Consider changing PACKAGEFILE or installing it from ports : :ports-mgmt/pkg'

This is where I get stuck. I downloaded the .xz file, which is the repository where I thought the PKG source is. Am I correct? If not, how should I download it from the online repository?

There are no pre-built packages

for memstick and mini-memstick images as announced.

If there are no pre-built packages ports-mgmt/pkg is useless. You might want to use ports to test the sticks. Virtual Machine Images might be more convenient for extensive testing.
