Synopsis

/usr/sbin/pkgadd [options] [source-loc] [pkg-name]
/usr/sbin/pkgadd -s [source-loc] [pkg-name]

Install a package. By default, pkgadd looks in /var/spool/pkg for installable package files; this can be changed with the -d option. The -s option may be used to write a package from installation media to the spool directory instead of installing it.

Options

-a adminfile

Use adminfile as the installation administration file, instead of the system default file (/var/sadm/install/admin/default). This file specifies policies for installation in terms of user interaction, how many instances of a package may be installed, and so on.

-d device

Use device as the source for the package to be installed or copied.

-G

Install the package only in the current zone. If installed in the global zone, the package is not propagated to any nonglobal zones.

-k keystore

Use keystore as the source for trusted certificate authority certificates.

-M

Do not use $root_path/etc/vfstab for determining a client’s mount points. Rather, assume that the mount points are correct on the server.

-n

Do a noninteractive installation. This suppresses the output list of installed files.

-P password

Use password to decrypt the keystore provided with -k.

-r response-file

The full pathname response-file provides the output of pkgask. Use the contents to provide the responses to questions that pkgadd would otherwise ask interactively. See pkgask.

-R root-path

Install all files under root-path. This is used on server ...
