| 7 | <p><ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> is available as a standard Oracle Solaris package. Download
|
|---|
| 8 | the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> SunOS package, which includes the 64-bit version of <ph
|
|---|
| 9 | conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>. <i>The installation must be performed as root and from the
|
|---|
| 10 | global zone</i>. This is because the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> installer loads
|
|---|
| 11 | kernel drivers, which cannot be done from non-global zones. To verify which zone you are currently in, execute the
|
|---|
| 12 | <userinput>zonename</userinput> command. </p>
|
|---|
| 13 | <p>To start installation, run the following commands: </p>
|
|---|
| 14 | <pre xml:space="preserve">gunzip -cd VirtualBox-<varname>version-number</varname>-SunOS.tar.gz | tar xvf -</pre>
|
|---|
| 15 | <p>The <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> kernel package is integrated into the main package.
|
|---|
| 16 | Install the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> package as follows: </p>
|
|---|
| 17 | <pre xml:space="preserve">pkgadd -d VirtualBox-<varname>version-number</varname>-SunOS.pkg</pre>
|
|---|
| 18 | <p>The installer will then prompt you to enter the package you want to install. Choose <b outputclass="bold">1</b>
|
|---|
| 19 | or <b outputclass="bold">all</b> and proceed. Next the installer will ask you if you want to allow the postinstall
|
|---|
| 20 | script to be executed. Choose <b outputclass="bold">y</b> and proceed, as it is essential to execute this script
|
|---|
| 21 | which installs the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> kernel module. Following this
|
|---|
| 22 | confirmation the installer will install <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> and execute the
|
|---|
| 23 | postinstall setup script. </p>
|
|---|
| 24 | <p>Once the postinstall script has been executed your installation is now complete. You may now safely delete the
|
|---|
| 25 | uncompressed package and <filepath>autoresponse</filepath> files from your system. <ph
|
|---|
| 26 | conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> is installed in <filepath>/opt/VirtualBox</filepath>. </p>
|
|---|
| 27 | <note>
|
|---|
| 28 | <p>If you need to use <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> from non-global zones, see <xref
|
|---|
| 29 | href="solaris-zones.dita#solaris-zones"/>. </p>
