How to install htop on FreeBSD 9

[Rumor 2540]

htop is like top, but with more information and more user friendly as well as a cleaner UI. This tutorial assumes you've already updated your ports and you have a working internet connection. This should work on atleast version 8 and 9 and most likely later versions.
 
Make sure you're a root user before continuing...
 
 
1. Loading Linux binary compatibility:

kldload linux

2. Editing rc.conf

ee /etc/rc.conf

Add the following line:

6. Install lsof:
