How to start nethack on solaris 11.3?

I downloaded this package from the package manager: http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/beta/info/0/pkg%3A%2F%2Fsolaris%2Fgames%[email protected],5.11-0.151.0.1%3A20101105T054109Z

Solution

  • I am not sure what you mean by "downloaded" but everything you need to do is pkg install nethack (as root role) and then run it as any user. According to manifest binary should be in /usr/bin/nethack, so typing:

    /usr/bin/nethack

    in your terminal window should do. It is very likely /usr/bin is in your PATH so you can just type

    nethack

    and game should start.
