How to install additional packages for OpenIndiana?












1














I've installed the OpenIndiana Version 151a8 (with desktop) as a guest VM in my VMware Fusion today. The popular tool lsblk is not there, and the pkg install needs additional info to find it (path? version?).



How can I find out this additional info for the lsblk tool, and generally - for any other additional piece of software I'll need?

          Solaris/SunOS had already other tools to achieve similar purpose as lsblk which is specific to Linux.



          To simply display block devices:



          iostat -En


          You can also find extensive information about your system using kstat.
          For instance:



          kstat -c disk 


          will give you statistics about disks and filesystems.



          As for package repositories they are listed here:



          http://www.openindiana.org/packages/



          You are welcome to ask further questions on the opendiana-discuss mailing-list.
          Good luck !
