Hi, how can I install Vibe on Tumbleweed? I can’t make it work. Here is their website: https://thewh1teagle.github.io/vibe/
Thanks a lot

“can’t make it work” is pretty vague. What have you tried, and what happens?

Hi, you are right, it was not very clear. Basically when I use the quick install using the command line provided on their website:
curl -sSf https://thewh1teagle.github.io/vibe/installer.sh | sh -s v3.0.5
The result I get is : unsupported Linux distribution.

Download the package directly and try to install it. If it works, contact the package developer to add openSUSE to the list of the supported distributions. If it does not work, contact the package developer to fix it.

Another alternative to arvidjaar’s suggestion is to install Distrobox, then install a distribution in Distrobox that it is supported on, and run it from there.

It’s a few more steps, but Distrobox is a pretty decent way to run apps that are not provided on the openSUSE platform.

There’s probably a good reason why it’s not supported by the developer on openSUSE - and if you do manage to get it to work and then have problems, you’re going to probably have an uphill battle with them trying to get help. Running in Distrobox is likely to make it easier for you to get help with it if you have issues.

It is only a simple download script which can easily be adapted to work on openSUSE Tumbleweed (no real reason for the distribution restriction as it only checks for the package manager type deb, rpm and Arch).

Download the installer.sh file, open it in any editor, make the changes mentioned below, save, make it executable and run it.

Following line needs to get changed:

 elif grep -iq "centos\|fedora\|rhel" /etc/os-release; then
        echo "Detected CentOS/Fedora/RHEL. Downloading RPM package..."
        wget -q "$RPM_URL" -O vibe.rpm
        sudo rpm -ivh vibe.rpm

Change it to:

elif grep -iq "centos\|fedora\|rhel\|opensuse-tumbleweed" /etc/os-release; then
        echo "Detected CentOS/Fedora/RHEL. Downloading RPM package..."
        wget -q "$RPM_URL" -O vibe.rpm
        sudo rpm -ivh vibe.rpm

Afterwards the installation works flawlessly:

test@testbox:~/Downloads> ./installer.sh v3.0.5
tag is v3.0.5

It starts fine and downloads the model.

Thanks for the advice, I was able to fix with hui’s suggestion but I will have a look at Distrobox.
