How do I install solaris software?
-
# pkgadd -d . "name_of_package"
The -d is the destination of the packages, if the packages are in the default location /var/spool/pkg then you do not need the -d, the above command had destination and "dot" the current directory
For example, let's say the package SUNWsneep was in a directory /var/tmp, do the following:# cd /var/tmp # pkgadd -d . SUNWsneep
To install a package from a single file, not a package made from a directory structure, install excluding the "dot"
For example SUNWscat come in the format SUNWscat4.1.pkg.gz, to install this do the following:
Change directory to where the file is.# gzip -d SUNWscat4.1.pkg.gz # pkgadd -d SUNWscat4.1.pkg The following packages are available: 1 SUNWscat Solaris Crash Analysis Tool (4.1 Build 526) (sparc) 4.1 Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]:
