using swinstall

[nuwendam]

Hello,

I downloaded a depot package
With the command line:
swinstall -s

I must know the id which is contained in the depot file but I dont't know it.

How can I list what is inside my depot file ?
thanks.

change the source to the exact path your depot is in

highlight the depot

drill down into it

select the package to install and mark it

then install

Did you download it with FTP and use BINARY mode?

What package did you download and where did you get it from?

Hi,

swlist -l product @ /depot
should list the depot products.

You can also find more information about swlist in man pages (man swlist)

Hi


if it is a depot then

swinstall -s /tmp/binutil.depot

should find it.


Otherwise use

swreg -l depot /tmp/binutil.depot

to register it then try install

Hi,

Select Local directory in the first window, then give the complete path in the target window - /tmp/binutil.depot

Hi,

You can also use \* to install all products of a package:
swinstall -s depot_package \*
