12.3.1.4. Install the RHN Packages

Change to the uncompressed directory and use the UNIX variant's native installation tool to install
each package. For example, on Solaris, use the

pkgadd

command. Answer "yes" to any prompts

during package install.

Here is how a typical installation might proceed:

# pkgadd -d RHATpossl-0.6-1.p24.6.pkg all
# pkgadd -d RHATpythn-2.4.1-2.rhn.4.sol9.pkg all
# pkgadd -d RHATrhnl-1.8-7.p23.pkg all
...

Note

You may choose to use the

-n

pkgadd

, which runs the command in non-interactive

mode. However, this may cause the installation of some packages to fail silently on Solaris
10.

Continue until each package is installed in the RHN-specific path:

/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/

12.3.1.5. Include RHN Packages in the PATH

In order to make the RHN packages available at each login, you may wish to add them to your PATH.
To do so, add these commands to your login script:

# PATH=$PATH:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/bin
# PATH=$PATH:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/usr/bin
# PATH=$PATH:/opt/redhat/rhn/solaris/usr/sbin
# export PATH
