To install the package from downloaded files:

Log in as root.
-
Download the package(s) to an installation directory; for example,

-
Run the pkgadd(1M)
command once for each package you want
to install by entering:
pkgadd -d /tmp/package_name
To install the package from media distribution:
-
Log in as root.
-
Insert the CD-ROM in the drive if you have not already done so.
-
You can use the pkgadd(1M)
command to install with the distribution CD mounted or unmounted

from the distribution media):
-
mounted
pkgadd -d /mount_point package_name
-
unmounted
pkgadd -d cdrom1 package_name
For example, pkgname might be nscomm
