|
|---|
| 6 | -----------
|
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 | After extracting the contents of the tar.xz file install the VirtualBox
|
|---|
| 9 | package with the following command:
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | $ sudo pkg install -g VirtualBox-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-@KBUILD_TARGET_ARCH@-r@[email protected] virtualbox
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | Of course you can add options for performing the install in a different boot
|
|---|
| 14 | environment or in a separate Solaris install.
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | Normally you need to reboot the system to load the drivers which have been
|
|---|
| 17 | added by the VirtualBox package.
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | If you want to have VirtualBox immediately usable on your system you can run
|
|---|
| 20 | the script /opt/VirtualBox/ipsinstall.sh which sets up everything immediately.
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | At this point, all the required files should be installed on your system.
|
|---|
| 23 | You can launch VirtualBox by running 'VirtualBox' from the terminal.

|
|---|
| 30 | package you can use the following command after extracting the contents of the
|
|---|
| 31 | tar.xz file:
|
|---|
| 32 |

| 33 | $ sudo pkg update -g VirtualBox-@VBOX_VERSION_STRING@-SunOS-@KBUILD_TARGET_ARCH@-r@[email protected] virtualbox
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 35 | If you want to upgrade from the SysV package of VirtualBox to the IPS one,
|
|---|
| 36 | please uninstall the previous package before installing the IPS one. Please
