Hi Ainstin,

Solaris has it's own package management system, I think a throwback to SVR3 - you'll find what you need here.

yum, apt-get and rpm are Linux specific commands.

Solaris 10 and older is using an SVR4 based packaging system, see Managing Software Packages by Using Package Commands (Task Map) - Oracle Solaris Administration: Basic Administration

Starting with Solaris 11, a fully redesigned packaging system, IPS, is implemented, described here: Introduction to the Image Packaging System - Adding and Updating Software in OracleŽ Solaris 11.2

Not just "linux specific" but "particular kind of linux" specific. Linux is just the 5-megabyte file which loads when the computer boots.

@Corona688 Indeed, Linux is technically just the kernel which doesn't need or care about packaging systems. Note also that RPM is not strictly Linux specific as AIX uses it also at least for unsupported Open Source packages ( IBM How To Install Red Hat Program Manager (RPM) and Other AIX RPM Packages Into PASE - United States )
