pkgadd: Update an already installed package from a local package.

pkgadd

$ pkgadd -u ${package_name}

try on your machine

This command is used to add or upgrade a package to a Solaris system using the Solaris Package Administrator (pkgadd) command. Here's a breakdown of the command:

pkgadd: This is the command itself, which is used to manage packages on Solaris systems.
-u: This flag is used to upgrade an existing package. It instructs pkgadd to upgrade the package if it already exists on the system.
${package_name}: This is a placeholder for the actual name of the package that you want to add or upgrade. You need to replace ${package_name} with the appropriate name of the package you want to install or upgrade.

So, when you execute this command with the appropriate package name provided instead of ${package_name}, it will attempt to add or upgrade that package on the Solaris system.
