Installing With the pkgadd Utility

The pkgadd(1M) allows you to install the Sun Embedded Workshop software as a series of packages on the host workstation. You must have the superuser password for your system.

If you are installing from the CD-ROM, change to the directory containing the packages. For example: /dev/cdrom/part_number/chorus-family/pkgs. Then go to Step 3.

If you have downloaded the product, go to Step 1 of the following procedure.

To Install With the pkgadd Utility

1. Create a directory (extract_dir) where you have permission and enough space to extract all the files in the delivery.

   The minimum amount of free space required is specified in the readme.html. For example:

   $ mkdir extract_dir $ cd extract_dir

2. Run the extract.sh script to extract all the packages:

   $ sh download_dir/part_number/extract.sh -only

   ---

   Note -

   For information on the options available with the extract.sh script, use the following command:

   $ sh download_dir/part_number/extract.sh -help

   See "extract.sh Options" for more information.

   ---

   The packages are extracted and stored in a directory structure similar to this: extract_dir/part_number/chorus-family/pkgs/SUNWxxxx

   where family can be one of the following: mpc8xx, powerpc, usparc, or x86.

3. Install the packages using one of the following methods:

   • To install all the packages for a particular part number together, use one of the following commands:

     • For the downloaded product:

       $ su Password: superuser_password # pkgadd -d extract_dir/part_number/chorus-family/pkgs all

     • For the CD-ROM:

       $ su Password: superuser_password # pkgadd -d /dev/cdrom/part_number/chorus-family/pkgs all

   • To install one package at a time for a particular part number, use one of the following commands:

     • For the downloaded product:

       $ su Password: superuser_password # pkgadd -d extract_dir/part_number/chorus-family/pkgs SUNWxxxx

     • For the CD-ROM:

       $ su Password: superuser_password # pkgadd -d /dev/cdrom/part_number/chorus-family/pkgs SUNWxxxx

4. Set the environment variables.

   See "Setting Environment Variables".

You can perform the installation procedure as many times as necessary. This is especially useful if you want to install extra components after the initial installation.
