Solaris Installation and Removal Instructions

Using the Packaged Binaries

You will need to be root, or a user with equivalent permissions, to install or remove the software.

Installation:

Use the pkgadd command to install the software. The exact command depends on the version you have downloaded; for example, to install version 4.4.0, you would download the pkg and run the following command:

pkgadd -d vnc-E4_4_0-sparc_solaris.pkg

Note that if you are upgrading from a previous version of VNC Enterprise Edition, will have to follow the instructions below for uninstalling that version first. Ensure that you have your license key available, as you will need to reinstall it after you have installed the software.

We provide Solaris packages for both SPARC and x86 architectures. It is important to download the correct package for your processor architecture. If you're not sure which you have, run the following command:

uname -p

Please note that VNC Enterprise Edition is installed to /usr/local/bin. If this is not on your PATH, then you will need to add it. If you are logging in via a command-line interface such as ssh, you may also need to add /usr/openwin/bin. To configure all users' PATHs, and to provide them with access to the man pages, add the following to /etc/profile:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/openwin/bin
MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/man

Removal:

Use the pkgrm command to remove the software, as follows:

pkgrm vnc-E
