Zypper Package Manager
Zypper is SUSE Linux Enterprise’s and openSUSE’s default package manager. While it is related to YUM, it has unique characteristics of its own:
SAT Solver: Zypper uses a sophisticated SAT (Satisfiability) solver to resolve dependencies, resulting in optimal package installations.
Rollback Capabilities: Zypper makes it simpler to recover from problematic upgrades or installations by enabling users to roll back system modifications.
Repo Management: Zypper handles software repositories to download and install packages, much as YUM.
Update all packages:
sudo zypper update
Install a package:
sudo zypper install [package_name]
Remove a package:
sudo zypper remove [package_name]
Search for a package:
sudo zypper search [search_term]
