Installing Developer Tools

Oracle Solaris enables you to build applications and solutions in a variety of programming languages, including: C/C++, Java, PHP, Python, and Ruby.

You can download and install developer tools from IPS package repositories by using Package Manager or by using pkg commands.

If a tool is not available from an IPS package repository, you can download the tool directly from the product site. However, if the tool is available in an IPS package repository, obtain the tool from the repository and not from another site. The tool that is in the repository might be specifically configured for use with Oracle Solaris.
