Not getting anywhere fast. Here's the latest, which I hope I've done as requested, but no cigar:
In case 'in/home/doug/Downloads/imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm' is not a typo it's probably not a built-in command, but provided as a subcommand or plug-in (see 'zypper help subcommand'). In this case a specific package providing the subcommand needs to be installed first. Those packages are often named 'zypper-in/home/doug/Downloads/imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm' or 'zypper-in/home/doug/Downloads/imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm-plugin'.
Please! zypper install /path/some.rpm Don't you see that 'in' is short for install? It is not in/path/some.rpm But the command is wrong, anyways.
You had to use:
zypper -v in /<path>/<to>/<file>.rpm ........... **...**********
not "zypper -v imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm"
You did not enter the path, nor the command "in".
Isn't the path "/home/doug/Downloads"? I don't know a path where it should PUT the results--that should be in the rpm itself.
Gosh, you are thick today. You said you have been using Linux for 15 years?
Also, it complained about no hyphen in "zypper in" so I put in a hyphen.
Tried with and without a space before the/home/doug/Downloads path, but it doesn't like it:
linux-4qnb:/home/doug/Downloads # zypper-in /home/doug/Downloads/imagescan-bundle-opensuse-15.1-3.59.2.x64.rpm If 'zypper-in' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this: cnf zypper-in Also tried "zypper in" without the hyphen and it didn't like that either. Do I need to put the word "to" in front of the path, and does it need the /to/ in it? Or is that just an illustration? I'm running out of things to try.
If someone may have actually run this, please post the exact command you used and what happened.
Thanx, doug
The command given by Patrick is wrong, doesn't work, and can erase the entire directory (I know why, but I'm not explaining it).
