=== Installation === 

The Solaris Package Manager is a powerful tool you can use to deploy software packages both locally and throughout a network.  

{{Note|These instructions assume you have downloaded and extracted the {{OOo}} installation files.}}

<ol>
<li>Become root if necessary
<source lang="text">
 su -
</source></li>
<li>Change directory to:
<source lang="text">
<OpenOffice.org_unzip-dir>/packages
</source></li>
<li>For a silent installation of {{OOo}}, you must create an <tt>admin</tt> file. This hides any recurring queries during the installation.
<source lang="text">
echo action=nocheck > /tmp/admin
echo conflict=quit >> /tmp/admin
echo idepend=nocheck >> /tmp/admin
</source></li>
<li>Install the OpenOffice.org packages :
<source lang="text">
pkgadd -n -a /tmp/admin -d . *
</source></li></ol>

You can safely delete the {{OOo}} installation packages after the install is complete.

=== Uninstall ===
Do not delete the {{OOo}} files from the file system. You must use either the {{OOo}} Java setup or the <tt>pkgrm</tt> tool to uninstall {{OOo}}.
<ol>
<li>Become root if necessary
<source lang="text">
su -
</source></li>
<li>Create a file 'ooo_packages' with all {{OOo}} related Solaris packages
<source lang="text">
pkginfo -x | cut  -f1 -d " " | grep ooo > /tmp/ooo_packages 
</source></li>
<li>For a silent uninstall of {{OOo}}, you must create an <tt>admin</tt> file. This hides any recurring queries during the uninstall.
<source lang="text">
echo action=nocheck > /tmp/admin
echo conflict=nocheck >> /tmp/admin
echo rdepend=nocheck >> /tmp/admin
</source></li>
<li>Remove all packages listed in the file
<source lang="text">
pkgrm -a /tmp/admin -n `cat /tmp/ooo_packages`
</source></li>
<li>Depending on your Java environment you may choose to uninstall additional packages which were installed by the {{OOo}} installer:
<source lang="text">
pkgrm SUNWj6man SUNWj6cfg 
</source>
{{Documentation/Caution|Uninstalling these packages could damage your Java environment.}}
</li></ol>
