No packages found

UNIX Solaris

good morning,

I am new to Solaris, and I am trying to ultimately get qiime and other bioinformatic tools loaded onto Solaris 11.

Currently I am trying to load git

root@Cluster-1:~# pkgadd -d "website cannot post it since I am a noob" /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -U /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -y -i git /usr/sbin/pkgchk -L CSWgit # list files

## Downloading...
.........^[[A.....25%..............50%..............75%..............100%
## Download Complete

pkgadd: ERROR: no packages were found in </var/tmp/dstreBAAG_aGKc>
root@Cluster-1:~# pkgadd " again cannot post link :(" /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -U /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -y -i git /usr/sbin/pkgchk -L CSWgit # list files
pkgadd: ERROR: no packages were found in </var/spool/pkg>

now, I have a masters degree in molecular biology and nothing in computer science . Also, I have 20 hand me down T5240 (2) 8 core, 128gb RAM, (6) 300gb SAS HD. So, I can't just use something else. Besides I like the RISC (SPARC) processor

Is there a SPARC version of qiime??

The T5240 is a SPARC processor.

All I see when I search is a Python app for x64. Is the SPARC platform supported?

And how did you install Solaris 11? Are you using a GUI?

If so, Oracle have produced an excellent Package Manager on the GUI which does most of the work for you. I run X-Windows on Solaris 11.
