Hi,

while am installing the sudo pkg am getting below error kindly advice how to install.

HP-UX hpux01 B.11.11 U 9000/800 1809809621 unlimited-user license..

swinstall -s /tmp/sudo-1.7.4p2.hppa.depot
NOTE: The interactive UI was invoked, since no software was
specified.

The TERM environment variable is set to unknown.

swinstall does not support this type of terminal. You must set TERM
to a value that is supported by swinstall and compatible with your
terminal.

Do you want to proceed in setting your TERM value and running
swinstall? (yes or no) [yes] no
ERROR: The interactive UI failed to start. If you wish to run
non-interactively, you must specify some software as part of
the swinstall command.

Input the correct value for your terminal or press "return" to set
the default TERM value = hp. TERM = (hp)

Starting the terminal version of swinstall...

To move around in swinstall:

- use the "Tab" key to move between screen elements
- use the arrow keys to move within screen elements
- use "Ctrl-F" for context-sensitive help anywhere in swinstall

On screens with a menubar at the top like this:

------------------------------------------------------
|File View Options Actions Help|
| ---- ---- ------- ------------------------------- ---|

- use "Tab" to move from the list to the menubar
- use the arrow keys to move around
- use "Return" to pull down a menu or select a menu item
- use "Tab" to move from the menubar to the list without selecting a menu item
- use the spacebar to select an item in the list

On any screen, press "CTRL-K" for more information on how to use the keyboard.

Press "Return" to continue...

Add a \* to the end of your command so it looks like this:

swinstall -s /tmp/sudo-1.7.4p2.hppa.depot \*

That tells swinstall to install all available packages in the depot file you specify.

Besides specifying the products you want to install (see Patrick's response) you can set your TERM variable to get a TUI interface.
This should work in most cases:

# export TERM=vt100

and now, swinstall:

# swinstall -s /tmp/sudo-1.7.4p2.hppa.depot
