Yeah -- cept google says not.
Someone said: "Just use zypper to add the repository and then the application your after?" --- What repo? I just have an "everything-contained-in-one-file", ymp.
open the ymp file with an editor. I just did: cer@Telcontar:~> cat Download/Firefox_downloads/inkscape.ymp <metapackage xmlns:os="http://opensuse.org/Standards/One_Click_Install" xmlns="http://opensuse.org/Standards/One_Click_Install"> <group> <repositories> <repository recommended="true"> <name>openSUSE:13.1</name> <summary>Official 13.1 openSUSE distribution</summary> <description>This project builds the official 13.1 openSUSE distribution.

Yes, there is a command to install them directly, but failing that, you can point firefox to "file:///home/whatever" and then click on the ymp file to install it.
One of the reasons I wanted the cmd was my browser was (and is) running on Windows at the time.
Yes, but later you were on a Linux machine. You had to transfer somehow the ymp file to the Linux machine in order to run OCICLI on it.
Does this seems a bit excessive to anyone else for users to have to figure out to install a featured package download method via the cmd line?
Anyway, off to the OCICLI: /sbin/OCICLI <.ymp path>...oh frack!
Ah, OCICLI.
s> sudo OCICLI inkscape.ymp /usr/sbin/yast: line 48: test: too many arguments
Why sudo? Always prefer "su -".
Sigh.. this is far more effort than it's worth -- I'm sure glad someone made it easy w/1-click...:-(
It is one click in Linux. Anyway, you didn’t' look at this paragraph of the previous post: LA> The page doesn't seem to offer other download formats, C> C> Yes, it does. Click on the grey "Show other versions" below the big C> direct install. Recommended. So, did you try? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
