How I can change the read permission on solaris 2.6, is impossible to install other programs

I have installed solaris 2.6 on a SunComputer but cannot install any software because it is in read mode only.

How can I change that?

Hello,

Welcome to the forum ! We hope you enjoy your time here, and find this to be a friendly and welcoming place.

When you say that the software is in "read mode only", can you explain a bit more about what you mean here ? Do you mean that the filesystem is read-only, in that you cannot write any files or change any existing files ? Or are you getting some other error or experiencing some other problem when trying to install packages specifically ?

In particular, could you let us know the following:

  • The full and exact error message you get when trying to install a package
  • The precise command you are typing to attempt to install a package
  • The user account you are logged in as when trying to install the package
  • Any other pertinent error messages or relevant information

Once we have this information, then we may be better positioned to assist you further.
