Solaris Package Installation

For the Solaris package installation you will need two packages produced by the CrossOver Office Server Edition. The first package, cxclient, is the client software itself, the second, cxclientp, is the "profile package" that specifies information about the server and other configuration details.

Automated installation.  The CrossOver Office Server Edition provides an automatic, self-extracting installer that will create and install the two packages. In most cases, this will be the simplest approach to use. The self-extracting installer is named install-crossover-client-pkgs-7.0.0.

In order to use the self-extracting installer, simply copy the file to the client machine, log in as root, and run the following command. The package software will prompt you several times for confirmation:

# sh install-crossover-client-pkgs-7.0.0
Erasing /tmp/cxtemp...
Extracting files to /tmp/cxtemp
Invoking:
  [xterm -e pkgadd -d . cxclient cxclientp]

  Processing package instance <cxclient> from </tmp/cxtemp>

Manual installation.  If the self-extracting installer doesn't work for your purposes (for example, if you are automating the install process using an automatic package-distributing tool) then you may install the packages directly using pkgadd.

# pkgadd -d . cxclient cxclientp

Processing package instance <cxclient> from </home/weaver/clientfiles>
