Well, to install squid, as already explained:

- download wget if you haven't it already
- download pkg-get from blastwave.org
- run "pkg-get -i squid"

That's it.

Should you have trouble understanding these steps, please tell us what needs clarifications.

And be aware that after succeeding answering "how to install squid", you'll be faced with the "how to configure squid", which may be a tougher job ...

You are free to put it anywhere you like, for example create the directory /opt/local/bin

Code:

mkdir -p /opt/local/bin

then copy wget to it

Code:

cp wget /opt/local/bin
chmod +x /opt/local/bin/wget

then add the destination directory to your PATH

Code:

PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin

If you want this PATH setting to persist, set it in /etc/default/login
Extract of /etc/default/login file:

Code:

...
# PATH sets the initial shell PATH variable
#
PATH=/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/local/bin
...
