There are several methods to install applications on OpenSUSE
What is the best method to install Zoom that will also pull down
and install the many dependencies ?
This one?
zypper in https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_openSUSE_x86_64.rpm
Thanks
Got the error
Signature verification failed 4-Signatures public key is not available
So I decided to select “ignore”
Thats because you have no signature to confirm.
Just ignore as you have done.
Tested and Zoom works great
Thanks !!
is there a way to inserrt in yast software repositories? I tried as http https and the other but didn’t succeed
I think no.
They seem to have blocked direct access so go to web site at bottom of page menu download-meeting client
To install zoom.us or update it I download the rpm package and the signing key files:
- zoom_openSUSE_x86_64.rpm
- package-signing-key.pub
(from the official download website zoom.us) and run the commands (in the order)
-
sudo rpm --import package-signing-key.pub
-
sudo zypper install zoom_openSUSE_x86_64.rpm
That’s all!
I thinnk.
zypper in https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_openSUSE_x86_64.rpm
is easier…
Hi everyone,
I’m new to OpenSUSE and am learning the ways.
I’m asking people who have installed Zoom using this method and use it frequently, how are we notified when Zoom can be updated, and how do you update ?
I have looked everywhere, I couldn’t find a repository to add so YaST can take care of this.
Thank you!
Hello and welcome to the openSUSE forums.
What is “this method”, I see no method mentioned.
Sorry, I meant the method advised on this thread, meaning installing manually the RMP from the official website using:
zypper in https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_openSUSE_x86_64.rpm
I wonder how the application notifies for updates and update, when we install it with this method (if I understand right, YaST won’t be able to do it as it has no specific repo to check for updates).
Sorry, I did not see the earlier posts as yours is at the top of a new page… Also this thread is already rather old and about Leap 15.2 (when you are really on 15.2, please upgrade to 15.3).
It would have been better when you had started a new thread. That will show up as new thread and thus draw the attention of people scanning for new threads to help with.
But you are correct. Installing just an RPM will never inform you about newer versions in the way it is done for repository installed packages.
I have also Zoom on one of the systems here and I it even survived an upgrade from 15.2 > 15.3 on that system. I do not plan do try and find out if there is a newer version as long as it “works”.
The version I have installed here seems to be 5.8.6.739_openSUSE-1. You can of course from time to time check if there is a newer version. Or simply, after a few months, remove the present package and install fresh (or maybe a forced installation is a faster way to do that).
OK, thank you very much!
I might go for the flatpak solution then.
It’s true that I haven’t given much details, sorry for that. I’m planning to use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Coming from Debian testing, it’s the distribution that appealed me the most.
