3 Installing, Removing and Updating
Software
Change the software collection of your system using YaST. In YaST's software man-
agement tool search for software components you want to add or remove. YaST re-
solves all the dependencies for you. Keep your system up-to-date by managing
software updates with openSUSE Updater.
3.1 Installing Software
Software is available via RPM packages. Each package contains the program itself,
the conguration les, and additional documentation. You can also install software
patterns. If you want the program (package) to be added to the system, proceed as
follows (if you have KDE running—for GNOME see below):
Procedure 3.1 Installing Single Software Packages under KDE
1 Start YaST and click Software > Software Management to start the package
manager.
2 Enter the name of the software you want to install in the search eld (for ex-
ample, jhead, a tool for manipulating JPEG meta data) and press [Enter].
If you do not now the package name of the desired software, the RPM Groups
view may help. The software packages are sorted by functionality in this view.
jhead, for example, can be found under Productivity > Graphics.
3 The packages found are listed in the right pane. Select a package for installa-
tion by right clicking it and choosing Install. If this option is not available, the
package is either already installed or marked as taboo. The package status
is indicated by the symbol in front of the package name—hit [Shift] + [F1] for
help.
4 In order to select more packages, repeat the steps mentioned above. Once
you are nished click Accept to start the installation.
5 Certain packages are dependent on other packages, such as shared libraries.
YaST automatically resolves these dependencies. In this case, a list of addi-
tional packages that have automatically been chosen for installation is pre-
sented. Accept them by clicking Continue.
