Alternative Installation Methods

The easiest way to install the Admin Pack products is to use Solaris Web Start on the product CD. However, if you are familiar with the UNIX\256 operating system environment, you may want to use one of the following alternative installation methods.

• Using the installer -nodisplay command to install the Admin Pack or individual products without the Web Start wizard. See "Installing Admin Pack Products Without Web Start" for step-by-step instructions.

• Using Solaris Web Start on the Solaris 8 product CD.

• Launching an installer using the Registry. See "Installing Products From the Registry" for step-by-step instructions.

• Using the pkgadd command (for experienced UNIX administrators only.) See "Installing Admin Pack Products Using the pkgadd Command" for more information on available packages.

Be sure to install any recommended or required patches. Refer to the Solaris 8 Admin Pack Release Notes for patches you may need to install.
