The instruction page for installing Leap 15.4 using USB stick refers to SUSE Studio Image Writer. This app is not available in Leap 15.3 repos (nor in 15.2)! Trying to install it from the “one click install” for Leap 15.1 fails. The app (and the page itself) does not appear to have been updated since Leap 15.1.
What is the work around being used by successful persons for fresh installation or even upgrade to 15.4 using USB Stick?f

When you want to put an installation image on an USB stick, just use dd
Something like:
dd if=<the-path-to-the-OSI-file> of=/dev/sdN
Of course you should fill in the correct name for <path-to…> and even more important, you should filll in the correct letter for N in /dev/sdN. **When you do that wrong, you can easily overwrite some other disk in your system! **So check and re-check if it is /dev/sdc or /dev/sdd, or …
I would prefer dd but Studio Imagewriter app is in the 15.3 repos. You can install it with
> sudo zypper in imagewriter
For one time I took an utterance here as serious. But as @rawar says, this is simply not true. A search in YaST > Software Manager shows it. So simple.
I guess I will never believe you again. >:)
:embarrassed::embarrassed: I was searching in Software Management for “SUSE Studio Image Writer”. And got message no results found! Sorry, now searching with “imagewriter” brought up the app. There is no mention of SUSE Studio in the description anywhere there. Only on installing it does the full name appear in the applications menu. So, please do excuse me for the unnecessary trouble . Sincere apologies.

You are welcome. But better next time tell or show what you did to come to a conclusion instead of only posting the conclusion. People ask for help. Others can not help in pointing them to where they went wrong when they do not tell what thy did and saw.
As hint: in that search you can search for imagewriter (the executable you want) and check the Provides box. I assume that will work to show the package that provides it.
All fine now. I hope you can create your install sticky. (I would still use dd, do that already for such tasks for more then 40 years, no need for new-fangled tools rotfl!)
Thanks hcvv

Do never search for a complete string, only use a piece of it.
You can get more results, but chance is great to get the right one…
