Installing or Removing
Software
Change the software collection of your system using YaST. This YaST module is
available in two toolkit flavors: Qt and ncurses; the Qt flavor is described here.
In YaST's software management tool search for software components you want to add
or remove. YaST resolves all the dependencies for you. Add additional software
repositories to your setup to install packages not shipped with the installation media
and let YaST manage them. Keep your system up-to-date by managing software updates
with openSUSE Updater.
