3.If necessary, load any missing packages.

Use the pkgadd utility to load onto your system any SunVTS and support packages that you determined you needed in Step 1 or Step 2.

For the Solaris 8 operating system, the SunVTS and XML packages are included on the Software Supplement CD. The zlib packages are included on the Solaris primary installation CD in the Entire Solaris Software Group.

Note that /opt/SUNWvts is the default directory for installing SunVTS software.

4.Load SunVTS patches, if appropriate.

Patches to SunVTS software are available periodically on the SunSolveSM Web site. These patches provide enhancements and bug fixes. In some cases, there are tests that will not run properly unless the patches are installed.
