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.
rpm will not download.
but better use yast, it works on console, using ncurse.
yast is not command line (that is, can't be used from scripts)
yast, apt, smart and zypper are able to dl packages from the net, rpm is not
Can I expect smart or zypper to be installed by default on every suse box? Are they "official" package managers?
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?)
I want to install packages by script. I should have written this in my original mail, sorry. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
