Platform Notes: SPARCstation Voyager Software Guide

Installing Software Packages

After installing Solaris, you will be logged in as root and OpenWindows will be running. Now you can install the SPARCstation Voyager packages that are on the SPARC Vendors Additions CD using the following procedure.

Note -

The instructions in this chapter are only for reinstalling the Solaris version that was originally supplied with the SPARCstation Voyager hardware. If you have upgraded this machine to use Solaris 2.6, you do not need to install software specific to this machine from another CD.

Make sure that File Manager is running.

Insert the SPARC Vendors Solaris Additions CD into the CD caddy.

Insert the caddy into the CD drive.

If there is a CD in the drive, type eject in a shell window to remove the CD. The File Manager CD Window is displayed in less than a minute. The content of the CD is displayed in the window.

In the File Manager window, double-click the SMCC folder.

This folder opens showing you the contents of the SMCC directory.

Open a command window and (if you are not already superuser) become superuser using the su command.
```

Password: enter superuser password

```

Enter the following commands at the # prompt:
```
example
# cd /cdrom/sol_2_4_hw1194_smcc
example# swmtool -d `pwd` -c .swm
```
The Software Manager window is displayed. The display shows Voyager Software 1.0.

Double-click on the icon for the Voyager Software 1.0 cluster.

The SPARCstation Voyager clusters and packages are listed.

Click the icon for the Voyager Software User Cluster.

This highlights the item indicating that it is selected.

Click Begin Installation.

The Software Manager: Command Input/Output pop-up window is displayed, showing all package installation messages. If anything goes wrong, it will ask you a question in this window. The installation process should take about 4 to 5 minutes. You will hear some disk and speaker noise. When the installation is complete, the message "Re-initialize list of install software" is displayed at the bottom of the window. It then displays "Click select on software to mark for installation."

Quit Software Manager.

Exit OpenWindows.

When you start OpenWindows again, the special keys daemon will automatically start. This daemon recognizes the power key and the brightness keys on the keyboard.

Note -
If you do not exit OpenWindows, you can start the daemon with the command /usr/openwin/bin/speckeysd.
