swmtool − install, upgrade, and remove software packages

SYNOPSIS

swmtool

AVAILABILITY

SUNWinst

DESCRIPTION

The Software Manager, swmtool, is an application that installs and removes packages on a local system. In Solaris 2.5 and later, it invokes the admintool(1M), preselected to add or remove software.  Using swmtool, you can add software from a product CD or from a hard disk to an installed system, or you can remove software from an installed system. 

Once you are logged in, you may run swmtool to examine the packages on your local system. 

Membership in the sysadmin group (gid 14) is used to restrict access to adminstrative tasks. Members of the sysadmin group can use swmtool to add or remove software packages. Non-members have read-only permissions (where applicable). 

Help is available by using the Help button.
