Hi,
I installed Atom from its .rpm file(https://atom.io/). After installing it not able to find out it in search application, if i type `at`, `ato` etc. What went wrong ?
Hi Arup, I had no difficulties: # zypper refresh 8< - - - - - trimmed - - - - - >8 All repositories have been refreshed. # zypper se atom Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... 8< - - - - - trimmed - - - - - >8 --> no package named 'atom' found --> only packages listed contained string 'atom', i.e. xlsatoms If a package is available within the distribution or repositories I've associated with my installation, my obvious preference is to use that package in lieu of a 'foreign' package. In this case, I retrieved the file atom.x86_64.rpm from the website, as you did, then # rpm -Uhv atom.x86_64.rpm --test Preparing... ################################# [100%] '-U' upgrade if already installed, otherwise install '#' print hash marks progress bar 'v' be verbose '--test' a 'dry run,' i.e. make no actual changes and check for errors It looks like a 'clean' installation would result with 'rpm' but I prefer to use zypper these days: # zypper in atom.x86_64.rpm Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... The following NEW package is going to be installed: atom 1 new package to install. 8< - - - - - trimmed - - - - - >8 --> The installation proceeded with no errors (oSs 13.2 64 bit KDE4) --> Atom was found under Menu > Applications > Utilities > Editors --> it launched with no errors and looks worthwhile investigating further :-) hth & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
