I just moved from Fedora-Core to Suse. Then about installation and management of packages at Suse, ‘yum’ could help a lot.
So, after running Yast :: Software Management, it is easy to find the option yum-metadata-parser, which was installed yet.
Then on terminal, typed to locate yum:
/usr/share/zypp/schema/yum
So, apparently yum is there - right? :beat-up:
Then, on terminal: :eek:
bash: yum: command not found
Any hints?

You might want to consider getting to know zypper, I find it quicker.
Zypper/Usage/11.1 - openSUSE
Thanks. I tried your suggestion. It looks good.
Just selected yum.3.2.20 and clicked on install :: yast. Then, installed successfully - or almost.
Then, in the sequence, tried on terminal: :’(

Some idea? 
I’m not sure. I use F10 and you know the repo’s need to be configured. But in Suse, I don’t know.
su terminal and do:
zypper up
thanks. ‘zypper up’ has updated my system. but in fact what I am really interested is to have yum installed on Suse.
Any suggestions to put yum running on Suse would be highly appreciated. lol!
I find that zypper is superior to yum anyway, it has more facilities. So spend some time with zypper and save yourself the hassle. Yes, I do know yum, I have to use it on RHEL. At least yum was better than the atrocity called up2date.
