OpenSolaris

Installing pkgbase packages

 No automated download/install utility is available yet, so you need to install the packages manually:

1. go to the Packages page
2. select a package and follow the link to the opensolaris download center to download it
3. uncompress the package:

  bash$ bunzip2 OSOLsomething-1.0.0-i386.pkg.bz2

1. install the package either as root:

  bash# pkgadd -d OSOLsomething-1.0.0-i386.pkg all

 or as a user with the Software Installation profile (see man user_attr(4) and profiles(1)):

  bash$ pfexec /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d OSOLsomething-1.0.0-i386.pkg all

Uninstalling pkgbase packages

• use the following command to find all pkgbase packages installed on your system:

  bash$ pkginfo -c PKGBASE

• use pkgrm to uninstall a package from your system, either as root:

  bash# pkgrm OSOLsomething

 or as a user with the Software Installation profile:

  bash$ pfexec /usr/bin/pkgrm OSOLsomething
