Installing Cisco RPMS

To install the JRE:

Step 1 Download the jre116-solaris2-sparc.bin file.

---

Note This file is available on the Sun web site.

---

Step 2 If there is a previous installation of the JRE and the old directory contains files you want to keep, rename the old directory.

Step 3 In a terminal window, enter the following commands:

% chmod a+x jre116-solaris2-sparc.bin
% ./jre116-solaris2-sparc.bin
 

Step 4 To recover disk space, delete the jre116-solaris2-sparc.bin file after installation is complete.

Step 1 Set the environment variable $DISPLAY to the IP address of the terminal where you are working.

To set this variable from the csh shell, enter:

setenv DISPLAY ipaddress[:displaynumber.screennumber]
 

where ipaddress is the IP address of the terminal, displaynumber is the number of the display, and screennumber is the number of the screen of the display.

Note This command may be different for other shells.

Step 2 Copy the installcsrpms.sh and installcsrpms.sh.Jshield files to a temporary directory.

Step 3 Change to the temporary directory and enter:
