Updating packages on OpenSUSE via console

Zypper is the functionally equivalent to apt-get or aptitude for OpenSUSE. Man page should give you more information how to use it, you can also visit  http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Zypper_usage_1  for additional information. For example, to update your current system with the latest packages open konsole and do: $: su #: zypper refresh #: zypper update To install plain old rpm do: $: su #: zypper install google-chrome-stable_current_i386.rpm This should install the downloaded stable version of Google Chrome. Of course you can substitute suitable rpm as necessary. To search for a package like libpng , do: $: zypper search libpng ~ts
