1) Here is the command to install special package (for example system/header)

#pkg install system/header

2) ALso we can install several packages

#pkg install system/header network/ssh package/rpm

3) Here is the command to show all available packages from special group

#pkg contents -o fmri -H -rt depend -a type=group solaris-desktop

How to install all packages from a special group in one command? (How to send output from the third command as an argument to second?)
