Installation

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

These instructions assume you have downloaded and extracted the OpenOffice.org installation files.

1. Become root if necessary

    su -

2. Change directory to:

   <OpenOffice.org_unzip-dir>/packages

3. For a silent installation of OpenOffice.org, you must create an admin file. This hides any recurring queries during the installation.

   echo action=nocheck > /tmp/admin
   echo conflict=quit >> /tmp/admin
   echo idepend=nocheck >> /tmp/admin

4. Install the OpenOffice.org packages :

   pkgadd -n -a /tmp/admin -d . *

You can safely delete the OpenOffice.org installation packages after the install is complete.

Uninstall

Do not delete the OpenOffice.org files from the file system. You must use either the OpenOffice.org Java setup or the pkgrm tool to uninstall OpenOffice.org.

1. Become root if necessary

   su -

2. Create a file 'ooo_packages' with all OpenOffice.org related Solaris packages

   pkginfo -x | cut  -f1 -d " " | grep ooo > /tmp/ooo_packages

3. For a silent uninstall of OpenOffice.org, you must create an admin file. This hides any recurring queries during the uninstall.

   echo action=nocheck > /tmp/admin
   echo conflict=nocheck >> /tmp/admin
   echo rdepend=nocheck >> /tmp/admin

4. Remove all packages listed in the file

   pkgrm -a /tmp/admin -n `cat /tmp/ooo_packages`

5. Depending on your Java environment you may choose to uninstall additional packages which were installed by the OpenOffice.org installer:

   pkgrm SUNWj6man SUNWj6cfg

   Uninstalling these packages could damage your Java environment.
