I was directed to some repositorieas but can not seem to install them. Would some one be so kind as to point out how it is done? THANK YOU!. Please be kind as I have moved over from Debian which is very different.

Have a look at the repository configuration in YaST - let us know if you
need more detail than that - and what specific repositories you are
looking to add.

Generally you need 4 repos in openSUSE for any version of openSUSE and
they are version specific. I am using openSUSE 13.1
13.1 OSS,13.1 non-Oss,13.1 update,13.1 non-Oss update
In addition if you need restricted formats you use packman
If you need additional software just use software.opensuse.org to search
for relevant packages /software and click on 1 click links from the same
version of repo as your openSUSE. i.e. you should not use 13.1 1Click
install on 12.3 etc…
All repo related maintenance(add/edit/delete) should be done using YaST
==>Software Management
zypper/command line commands for those who have come from other distros :-

Never use factory repo. It will lead to man issues including not being
able to boot to GUI
–
GNOME 3.10.1
openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (x86_64) 64-bit
Kernel Linux 3.11.6-4-desktop
to add a repository (permanently) go to
Yast > software repositories > add > specify URL
copy in the url - it is usually up to the openSUSE release point.
e.g. “http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/openSUSE_13.1/”
Give it a name (anthing that helps you recognise it), and OK out.
I’d be careful about adding any repo though. Generally they are not needed because you can find needed software that isn’t included n the main repos / packman from software.opensuse.org: Search
People ITT told you how to do it with YaST but you can also use zypper directly to add repos. To find out how check out this great cheat sheet that is provided by the community:
