Installing PatientOS on SUN Sparc/Solaris 10

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Solaris installation instructions are very similar to the Linux instructions.

The main difference is

a) Download gnu tar and install its dependent packages from ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/10/ with the pkgadd -d <file> command.

libiconv-1.9.2-sol10-sparc-local
libgcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local
tar-1.16-sol10-sparc-local

b) The PostgreSQL software install of postgresql-8.3.1-S10.sparc-32

c) The Java install of jdk-6u7-solaris-sparc.sh

download java 1.6.07 for Sparc Solaris 10. Unpack and then replace the patientos java directory

rm -fR /usr/local/patientos/082/jre1.6.0_02
mv jdk1.6.0_07 /usr/local/patientos/082
mv /usr/local/patientos/082/jdk1.6.0_07 /usr/local/patientos/082/jre1.6.0_02

d) Remember, like Linux, running PatientOS using X-Windows over a LAN is slooooow. NX Server/Nx Client allow you to get a fast, snappy application as long as you have a fairly recent CPU (2.2 dual core min recommended). Just install the 3 packages.

e) Create users, login and start patientos (command line or setup a shortcut)
