Installing pkgbase packages

No automated download/install utility is available yet, so you need to install the packages manually:

1. go to the Packages page
2. select a package and follow the link to the opensolaris download center to download it
3. uncompress the package:

     bash$ bunzip2 OSOLsomething-1.0.0-i386.pkg.bz2
   

4. install the package either as root:

     bash# pkgadd -d OSOLsomething-1.0.0-i386.pkg all
   

   or as a user with the Software Installation profile (see man user_attr(4) and profiles(1)):

     bash$ pfexec /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d OSOLsomething-1.0.0-i386.pkg all
   

Uninstalling pkgbase packages

• use the following command to find all pkgbase packages installed on your system:

    bash$ pkginfo -c PKGBASE
  

• use pkgrm to uninstall a package from your system, either as root:

    bash# pkgrm OSOLsomething
  

  or as a user with the Software Installation profile:

    bash$ pfexec /usr/bin/pkgrm OSOLsomething
