Alternate Installation Procedure

If you cannot launch the installation wizard, you can simply install the software with the Solaris packages in the same directory. Follow this procedure once the CD-ROM is mounted. You must also have super-user privileges to run the pkgadd command.

Installing with pkgadd

1. As root, type the following command to start pkgadd:

   # /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d /cdrom/jdmk_4_1/solaris/JDKversion

2. Type the numbers corresponding to the packages you want to install.

   To install the full Java Dynamic Management Kit, including the documentation, type all to choose all the available packages. The installation program may prompt you with questions about package dependencies and running installation scripts. Type y to answer yes to all questions and complete the installation normally.

3. When the installation is finished, type q to stop pkgadd.

   You can then view the documentation or eject the CD as described in Step 5.
