Complete noob question: Software installation
I'm a Linux guy who is tring out BSD for the first time...

What is the BSD program to automatically fetch and and install software?

Is it pkg_add? Will pkg_add automatically fetch and and install software? Does it work on all BSD variants?

This is all I could find, but I wanted to make sure I am using the right tool.
