Question about installing apps

Hello!

When I download an RPM file, sometimes it has some dependecies not satisfied by my system. I’m using yast. When it happens I have to go to the package search and manually search and install them.

Are there any ways to do it automatically?

I know it is a noob’s question, but in linux i’m totally new ;x

I also would like to know if there are any documentation/tutorial on app install on linux…

Thanks!

Generally, if you set up repositories and use zypper to install programs, dependencies will be automatically pulled in.

Unfortunately, if you are getting a RPM file that was not in any of those repositories, you have to resolve the dependencies by separately downloading and installing them.

okaay thanks =D

see: http://en.opensuse.org/Concepts
all of it, but especially
http://en.opensuse.org/Concepts#Software_handling_in_openSUSE_.28Package_Management.29
and all under it…including the links…

the above should answer your “I also would like to know if there are

not to mention: http://en.opensuse.org/Documentation
