I have installed the Sun Studio 11 software in the following 
location:
  <network_path_to_installed_product>. 
The Sun Studio 11 software includes a version of the NetBeans 
integrated development environment (IDE) optimized for use 
with the Fortran, C, and C++ compilers included in the product.

Before you can use the software, you must complete
the following items:

_ Add the path to the product installation directory to your PATH.  
  Add the path before any other path to Forte Developer, Sun ONE Studio,
  or Sun Studio software. The path you need to add is   
  <installation_directory_on_Solaris_system>/SUNWspro/bin. 
  Remember to use the source command to reinitialize your shell.
  
_ Add the path to the product man pages to your MANPATH. The path
  you need to add is:<installation_directory_on_Solaris_system>/SUNWspro/man 
  Remember to use the source command to reinitialize your shell.   

_ Ensure that one of the supported J2SE platforms is installed on your system 
  or that you have access to it on the network. If you choose to install the 
  supported J2SE platform that is supplied with the product on your system, 
  you can use the custom J2SE installer that includes the J2SE platform and 
  the required Solaris OS patches. You can find the J2SE platform installer 
  at <path-to-J2SE-installer>.

  To use the installer, do the following:  
  1. Go to the J2SE installer directory.  
  2. Log in as root user.  
  3. Start the installer by typing:  
     # ./installer_j2se 
  4. Follow the instructions in the installer interface. 
  5. Log out as root user.
  6. (Optional) You might have to reboot your system if you installed 
     OS patches.
      
  If you choose to use the supported J2SE platform on the network,
  add to your PATH <path-to-j2se-installed-on-server>.
  
_ Start the software by typing at the prompt: 
  sunstudio 
  
For more information about setting the paths to the software and man pages 
or installing the J2SE platform, see the Sun Studio Installation
and Setup Guide. You can download the installation guide from 
   http://docs.sun.com/doc/819-3052 (for Solaris platforms)
  
The product Release Notes for Solaris platforms are available at

Online help for the Sun Studio IDE is available from the Help menu and Help
buttons in the IDE. The product readmes and man pages are installed
with the software. The product manuals are available on the docs.sun.com web
site. You can access the readmes, man pages, manuals, and release notes from 
the documentation index page, which is installed at:
   /<installation_directory_on_Solaris_system>/SUNWspro/docs/index.html
