Zypper cheat sheet : Zypper is openSUSE Linux package management system , which we can used to search and add dependency library,applications etc. This cheat sheet may help you explore openSUSE Linux – Zypper
pip – Pythoners favorite command, is a package management system, which can be used to install and remove python packages from the PYPA(Python Package Authority).
pip and other tools can be installed using the zypper package manager in openSUSE as follow
sudo zypper install python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-wheel
For Python version two the following method will do the job
sudo zypper install python-pip python-setuptools python-wheel
Flutter can be used to create Linux applications, which is possible by enabling the feature. Before that I would like recommend the basic flutter setup on openSUSE post.
Flutter setup for openSUSE LinuxLets Install Flutter for Linux development. As a open source project, we can install the flutter SDK from GitHub.
In order to clone the repository we have to use git. In case your SUSE doesn’t know what it is, let’s install it with zypper. Also recommend to have Visual Code /Atom for editing the code.
The following post may help you to install VS Code and Atom on Linux
sudo zypper install git
Get the latest stable version from GitHub repository or alternatively can download from flutter site
git clone https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git -b stable --depth 1
Use the -b option to clone the stable version
You also need to set the path variable using the shell command as follows.
export PATH="$PATH:pwd/flutter/bin"
run Flutter doctor command to inspect status of your Flutter SDK
For Android you have to install the Android Studio for development tool support which can be download from official website.
For official documentation visit flutter.dev
In order to make Linux ready for Flutter desktop development environment we should have following dependencies
install them using zypper/ apt-get command
sudo apt-get install clang cmake ninja-build pkg-config libgtk-3-dev libblkid-dev liblzma-dev
Now switch to the dev channel and run upgrade command, which will install necessary libraries and packages.
flutter channel dev
flutter upgrade
Configure the feature using config
flutter config --enable-linux-desktop
run the flutter doctor and then flutter devices as follows
flutter doctor
flutter devices
Make sure the devices command list the Linux desktop
Create sample Flutter project
flutter create myweb_app
run the app using flutter run command
flutter run -d linux
or
flutter run
Happy fluttering

Welcome to another OpenSUSE tutorial, this time my favorite markdown editor typora.
So how do we exactly install Typora in OpenSUSE Linux? Well you can search for Typora in the repository using Zypper search typora and go on with sudo zypper install package name.
The second option is to install from the debian package, which surely working. Here is the guide
How to install .deb file in OpenSUSE/LinuxIn OpenSUSE we can install apps from repository using Zypper install command command. Linux apps comes in many formats, some of them come in binary, rpm and so on. So how do we install apps from a .debian binary file
We can use dpkg to install .deb file in Ubuntu and OpenSUSE. By default SUSE don’t have the dpkg package, we should install it first using
sudo Zypper install dpkgAfter that open the corresponding file folder in console. and execute the command. ( in the example I have typora debian file )
sudo dpkg -i typora_0.9.96_amd64.debIn OpenSUSE we can install apps from repository using Zypper install command command. Linux apps comes in many formats, some of them come in binary, rpm and so on. So how do we install apps from a .debian binary file

sudo dpkg -i typora_0.9.96_amd64.debGitHub’s Atom Editor may be the best full featured code editor. Before VS Code is come to light it is one of the most used code editor.
How can we install the Atom editor in OpenSUSE Linux. As usual search the repository and try to install using zypper command. There is always a plan B.
Install the editor from the packagecloud.io repository
sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[Atom]\nname=Atom Editor\nbaseurl=https://packagecloud.io/AtomEditor/atom/el/7/\$basearch\nenabled=1\ntype=rpm-md\ngpgcheck=0\nrepo_gpgcheck=1\ngpgkey=https://packagecloud.io/AtomEditor/atom/gpgkey" > /etc/zypp/repos.d/atom.repo' Now try to install any of the following versions using the zypper utility
sudo zypper install atom
sudo zypper install atom-beta It should work,
Flutter command not working on SuSE Linux ? Here is the quick reason for that. The path variable may not set or save.
Adding the path in a proper way may fix this issue.
export PATH="$PATH:`pwd`/flutter/bin"
And now you are ready to create your first project
I have noticed that the VSCode installer always end up with error in OpenSuse TumbleWeed edition. Here is my alternative solution to the problem.
Launch your console and issue the following
curl -sSL -o code.tar.gz https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=620884 sudo mkdir -p /opt/code && sudo tar zxf code.tar.gz -C /opt/code --strip-components=1 sudo ln -sf /opt/code/code /usr/local/bin
This will install VS Code on Suse , in case it didn’t update repository and try install again by using following code
sudo zpper refresh sudeo zypper install code
We can create a intall.sh script to install the app. Add those three lines of scripts to the file.
It also require that , the files has permission to execute the file. Set the file permission using
chmode +x install.sh
Now we are ready to run the file by running the ./install.sh command.
