Hello,

What is the "official" command line tool to install packages on suse?

I know there are apt, smart, zypper and maybe even more. But I'd
like to know which one is the "official" tool that is installed by
default on every suse system.

to manage already downloaded package, the basic comand line tool is rpm, but better use yast, it works on console, using ncurse.

yast, apt, smart and zypper are able to dl packages from the net, rpm is not

you can probably call directly the yast module if what you want is use it from a script (but what do you want to do, in the first place?)
