How to install a software using swinstall

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi :

As noted, you will get an interactive SD session whenever you don't specify software to be installed.

For example, if a depot contained OpenSSL and you wanted to install that, you would do:

# swinstall -s /tmp/swdepot OpenSSL

If the depot contained multiple software elements then you could do:

# swinstall -s /tmp/swdepot \*

In this case, installation of everything would be attempted since the asterisk means "all". Note that you _MUST_ escape the asterisk character so that your shell does not interpret it and expand it into the filenames in your current directory.

Regards!

Hi
first you check for the s/w on the depot.
#swlist -d @/dir/cfg.depot


Or issue this command

lndsll03:/homeroot->swinstall -s /homeroot/cfg2html_hpux_3.66-20080709.depot cfg.depot

I don't want to repeat the same swinstall blabla line a hundred time, but how about some RTFM?

Find out what all you can do with SD!

Hi,

As said by others, it is not an error message rather this is the way swinstall is designed to work.

If specified depot has multiple softwares, you need to specify which software you want to install from that depot.
Example:

#swinstall -s

If you haven't specified, swinstall suppose to ask which software you intend to install. For that reason it is opening the interactive session.

First find out the softwares available in that depot using this command.

#swlist -d @

Once you know the software inside the depot use this command,

#swinstall -s

Hope this hels...

You need to go into the swinstall options and turn off the "mount all file systems" option.

Hi,

Permission problem?

# mv /homeroot/cfg2html_hpux_3.66-20080709.depot /tmp
# swinstall -s /tmp/cfg2html_hpux_3.66-20080709.depot CFG2HTML

Hi:

I urge you to read some of the documentaion links that have been suggested --- the manpages for 'swinstall' too.

Either mount all of your server's file systems and re-run your 'swinstall' or add the '-x mount_all_filesystems=false' option to your 'swinstall' command:

# swinstall -x mount_all_filesystems=false -s ...

As James points out, reading the documentation and man pages would be a tremendous help, but, at the very least, try reading the error message.
