7 Installing Packages From the
Internet
By default, it is only possible to install packages from congured and enabled
repositories. Apart from the ocial repositories that are congured during the instal-
lation, numerous other repositories exist. The openSUSE® Build Service hosts several
hundred ones and a lot of third party repositories exist, too—see http://en.opensuse
.org/Additional_package_repositories.
openSUSE oers two easy ways to install from these repositories without the need
to rst subscribe to them. The 1-Click Install method allows you to install packages
directly from a Web browser, while the YaST Package Search lets you query almost
all known repositories for openSUSE. You can directly install any package found by
the package search module.
WARNING: Trusting External Software Sources
Before installing from any external software repository, make sure it can be
trusted. openSUSE is not responsible for any potential problems arising from
software installed from third-party software repositories.
7.1 1-Click Install
Installation using 1-Click Install is available from a lot of repositories available on
Web interfaces. A very popular interface is the openSUSE Build Service software
search.
Procedure 7.1: Installing Packages from the openSUSE Build Service via 1-Click
Install
1
Start the openSUSE Build Service search interface at http://software
.opensuse.org/search.
2 Select your system version from the drop-down menu, for example open-
SUSE 12.2.
3 Enter the name of the package you want to install, for example the
OpenStreetMap editor josm.
4 To rene the search, adjust the Search Options according to your wishes.
5 Click Search.
