As a new user you should probably run a supported release version, such =
as 14.0.  Releases have binary updates available via freebsd-update. =
(Upgrading the base OS via pkg is still experimental.) Current has no =
such feature, so you need to download/update the source and recompile.

See the Handbook chapter on upgrading FreeBSD:
