YaST Package Search

Provided you are connected to the internet, you can also search and install packages from almost all known repositories for openSUSE directly via YaST's Package Search. This module is not available by default, you need to install the package yast2-packager-webpin. This module is a YaST frontend for the Webpin package search available at http://packages.opensuse-community.org/. To install packages via the Package Search proceed as follows:

Start the Package Search from the YaST Control Center via Software+Package Search.
Search for a software package by entering it's name into the Search Expression field and clicking Search.

The search result is listed in the tab Found Packages. Click on a package name to see the repository URL, the package version number and the architecture in the Package Description pane.

	Double check the Package Information
Make sure to double check whether the software is hosted on a repository you trust before you install it. Also check if the architecture complies with your system (x86_64 packages can only be installed on 64bit systems).

Mark a package for installation by clicking its checkbox. You can mark several packages at once. You can even start a new search for other packages without losing your current selection, which is always available on the All Selected Packages. Once you have finished the package selection, proceed with Next.
In the Additional Software Repositories dialog you can select software repositories to subscribe to. Normally there is no need to change the default selection. By default, you remain subscribed to these repositories after the installation has finished, so you will receive updates from them in the future. Uncheck Remain Subscribed to These Repositories after Installation to use the repositories only once. Click Next to proceed.
Now select the software packages that should be installed. Normally there is no need to change the default selection. Click Next to proceed.
The Proposal screen summarizes the choices you made. Click Customise to restart the configuration steps from above. Click Next and Yes to proceed with the installation.
Confirm the next dialog. In case a new repository is used, you will also need to confirm the import of the repository's GnuPG key. During the installation several progress pop-ups appear that do not need any interaction. After reading the “Installation was successful” message, click Finish.
