Here are the steps taken in-house installing Portassist Manager on SCO OpenServer version 5.0.6.

Installing the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) package

Older SCO versions may require the compatibility module to be installed as a prerequisite, this can be determined by typing 'pkginfo -l OSRcompat' from the UNIX root prompt. If nothing is returned, you can download the "Binary Compatibility Module 7.1.1 for SCO OpenServer (for UDK Compatibility)" from the same download location on SCO's web-site:

Download the following JRE version from SCO's web site:

Java Runtime Environment, Release 1.2.2 (j2R1.2.2 JRE)

Installing the JRE. From the SCO UNIX root prompt:

# mv java2jre2.pkg.Z /tmp
# cd /tmp
# uncompress java2jre2.pkg.Z
# pkgadd -d /tmp/java2jre2.pkg
