Installation

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

Template:Documentation/Note

1. Become root if necessary

    su -

2. Change directory to:

   <OpenOffice.org_unzip-dir>/packages

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

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

4. Install the StarOffice packages :

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

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

Uninstall

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

1. Become root if necessary

   su -

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

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

3. For a silent uninstall of Apache OpenOffice, 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 Apache OpenOffice installer:

   pkgrm SUNWj6man SUNWj6cfg

   Uninstalling these packages could damage your Java environment.
