pkg-instIt is a tool that installs packages independent of the package management system. Its support is possible through the following package management systems: AIX lpp, IRIX inst, HP-UX depot, RPM, Solaris pkgadd, and Tru64 UNIX setld. It works by reading information contained in an XML database about a package and its dependencies to abstract from the user the details necessary to install the packages. Options such as --ignoredeps and --reinstall provide access to options required by the package manager to achieve the same end result in all package management systems. If an installed package has dependencies, pkg-inst will automatically install the dependencies and will try to install the package once the dependencies have been installed. pkg-info
Provides the following information about the packages: list of installed packages, packages from a warehouse, package information, and which packages have common links associated with them. pkg-config
Install and remove links from the common memory, inform, and create man directories after the installation of the package. pkg-rm
Remove packages installed with the pkg-inst tool, even though the package management system is being used.
