What’s the command to install openoffice.org from dvd or internet?
Doesn’t work:


zypper install openoffice.org
#2

Assuming you’re a newbie just use the GUI (YAST) as it’s much easier. See YaST/Modules/Software Management - openSUSE

If you want to learn to use the command line way then read Zypper/Usage/11.1 - openSUSE (especailly Zypper/Usage/11.1 - openSUSE)

#3

Do you mean installing from a repository or installing a build downloaded from OOo’s home site? For the first option, use, yes, Yast. For the second, unpack the files from the respective archive and run:

rpm -ivh *.rpm

with superuser privileges.

Actually, installing openoffice from zypper isn’t far off from the command you had.

zypper in openoffice_org

Note the underscore instead of the period. Zypper will take care of the rest of the dependencies, additional packages, etc.

But I do recommend using the YaST Software Manager over zypper, especially if you are a new user.

Hope this helps.

Yes, it’s the uderscore.
