How to 'install' Opera on OpenSUSE ?

Hey, I’m new to linux and OpenSUSE and I’m looking to install my favourite web browser, Opera, but I can’t seem to do it. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Yast > Software > Software Management. Then type opera in the Search field and click Search, Look for opera at right, check the box before it and click Accept.

This is the normal way to install software on openSUSE. It is in the non-OSS repo. It seems that you did not look at any basic documentation about openSUSE because installing software is one of the first things most people like to master. Look here as a starter: Package management - openSUSE

and then look at
http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-startup/part.reference.software.html

which has sections on YaST, zypper, 1-Click installs, the rpm
command, compiling and other things…

What if he wants to install the new Opera 15.0, based on Chromium and Blink?

It doesn’t work with Wine.

Are we stuck with Opera 12.0 forever?

Then he should ask so.

have you checked with Wine HQ to see if there is a ‘trick’ you have
to do…

> Are we stuck with Opera 12.0 forever?

of course not, today the maker offers 12.16 at
http://www.opera.com/download/guide/?os=linux

and if you need to know when the next Linux version will be shipped,
ask them…not us.

Thank you for the replies. I will check out the documentation.

I should of checked it in the 1st place but I kinda just jumped in

Opera has rpms on there web site that are for openSUSE, you should just download it from there if you want the latest.

I have just now learned of this new Opera 15 from the desktop blog, since it is so new I would not think it is available yet for any Linux distro.
I do have faith though that Opera will continue to support Linux and we will have an rpm to download asap. It does seem though that there really good mail app M2 has been released for windows only, I wonder what is up with that.

NAHhhh!.. today is OPERA 20…:stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks - Opera Software

howdy folks?

how to install **OPERA-NEXT **on **openS **?

*http://www.opera.com/computer/next

tia!

Apparently you can’t.
AFAICS Opera-next is only available for Windows.

The older Opera 12.15 is of course available in the standard openSUSE repos. You should find it in YaST->Software Management.

No worries, it’s good to jump in, I’m not sure why people make such a big deal about answering a question, if they have nothing good to say, they should just move on (IMNSHO), but I digress.

Another good place to check is:

http://software.opensuse.org

They may have a One-Click install for any software you might need. After checking, it’s at version 12.15 (see: openSUSE Software)

Well, that would apply to you as well.

You do realize that that was the OP replying to the answers to his original question?
And that that reply was from July 2013?

Or did you just quote the wrong post?

Another good place to check is:

http://software.opensuse.org

They may have a One-Click install for any software you might need. After checking, it’s at version 12.15 (see: openSUSE Software)

And why do you jump in to give an answer that was already given? :wink:

Btw, Opera for Linux seems quite dead at the moment.

Hi
Correct, there is no icon or desktop file for it yet…it’s alpha :wink:

You need QT 5.2.n running as well…

it is possible to avoid that **opera-gtk **on install?

Use Yast interface > Software Management
Mark Opera for install then mark the opera-gtk as Taboo - Never Install
