Shortest path should be:
pfexec pkg install mate_install
pfexec svcadm enable lightdm

Prerequisite: You should have supported hardware (e.g Intel or NVIDIA
graphics).
If your NVIDIA card is too new you'll need to download a newer driver
from NVIDIA (driver for Solaris) manually and run its install script.
If you are running OI an a notebook: good luck, you will need it!
