Installing software
You can install software from media or from an
installation server, using either the Application Installer
or command-line tools. To install software from an installation server,
the server must already be configured. See
``Setting up and administering an install server''
for more information.
Topics describe how to:
-
Install software interactively with the
Application Installer,
the recommended way to install add-on software to the
UnixWare system.
-
Install software interactively with
pkgadd(1M),
a command-line equivalent to the Application Installer
procedure.
-
Install software non-interactively with
pkgadd(1M).
This procedure allows for unattended installations, but might
require you to
modify installation files
before proceeding.
-
Install software from an installation server using
pkginstall(1M)
or
NFS.
The standard way to perform these tasks is to use the
Application Installer.
-
Spool packages, which allows you to store packages on your
system for
future installation.
These tasks assume that you are installing software designed for
the UnixWare system. See also
``Installing applications not designed for UnixWare''.
