# 2.9. Oracle Solaris

This section describes how to install Groonga from source on Oracle Solaris.

## 2.9.1. Oracle Solaris 11

Install required packages to build Groonga:

    % sudo pkg install gnu-tar gcc-45 system/header

Download source:

    % wget https://packages.groonga.org/source/groonga/groonga-12.0.7.tar.gz
    % gtar xvzf groonga-12.0.7.tar.gz
    % cd groonga-12.0.7

Configure with `CFLAGS="-m64" CXXFLAGS="-m64"` variables. They are needed for building 64-bit version. To build 32-bit version, just remove those variables. (see configure about `configure` options):
