By default, it is only possible to install packages from configured and
enabled repositories. Apart from the official repositories that are
configured during the installation, numerous other repositories exist.
The openSUSE® Build Service hosts several hundred ones and a lot of
third party repositories exist, too—see
<a class="ulink" href="http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_package_repositories" target="_top">http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_package_repositories</a>.
</p><p>
openSUSE offers two easy ways to install from these repositories
without the need to first subscribe to them. The <code class="literal">1-Click
Install</code> method allows you to install packages directly from a
Web browser, while the YaST Package Search lets you query almost all
known repositories for openSUSE. You can directly install any
package found by the package search module.

Before installing from any external software repository, make sure it can
be trusted. openSUSE is not responsible for any potential problems
arising from software installed from third-party software repositories.

Installation using <code class="literal">1-Click Install</code> is available from a
lot of repositories available on Web interfaces. A very popular interface
is the openSUSE Build Service software search.

Installing Packages from the openSUSE Build Service via <code class="literal">1-Click Install</code></b></p><ol class="procedure" type="1"><li><p>
Start the openSUSE Build Service search interface at
<a class="ulink" href="http://software.opensuse.org/search" target="_top">http://software.opensuse.org/search</a>.
</p></li><li><p>
Select your system version from the drop-down menu, for example
<code class="literal">openSUSE 11.3</code>.
</p></li><li><p>
Enter the name of the package you want to install, for example the
OpenStreetMap editor <code class="systemitem">josm</code>.
</p></li><li><p>
To refine the search, adjust the <span class="guimenu">Search Options</span>
according to your wishes.
</p></li><li><p>
Click <span class="guimenu">Search</span>.
</p></li><li><p>
From the results list select the preferred item by clicking its
<span class="guimenu">1-Click Install</span> button.
</p></li><li><p>
In the Web browser's download dialog, select to open the file with the
<span class="guimenu">YaST Meta Package Handler</span>.
</p><p>
The 1-click installer opens the <span class="guimenu">Additional Software
Repositories</span> dialog. It shows the repositories providing the
packages you want to install per <code class="literal">1-Click Install</code>.
They are activated per default. To proceed with the installation, keep
the repository selection. By default, you remain subscribed to these
repositories after the installation has finished and you will receive
updates from them in the future.
</p></li><li><p>
If you want to use the new repositories only once instead, uncheck
<span class="guimenu">Remain Subscribed to These Repositories after
Installation</span>. Click <span class="guimenu">Next</span> to proceed.
</p></li><li><p>
Now select the software packages that should be installed. Normally
there is no need to change the default selection. Click
<span class="guimenu">Next</span> to proceed.
</p></li><li><p>
The <span class="guimenu">Proposal</span> screen summarizes the choices you made.
Click <span class="guimenu">Customize</span> to restart the configuration steps
from above. Click <span class="guimenu">Next</span> and <span class="guimenu">Yes</span> to
proceed with the installation.
</p></li><li><p>
Enter the <code class="systemitem">root</code> password to start the installation. In case a new
repository has been added you 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
<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Installation was successful</span>”</span> message, click
<span class="guimenu">Finish</span>.

If you want to disable the 1-Click install feature, uninstall the
<code class="systemitem">yast2-metapackage-handler</code> package using YaST.
Alternatively, enter the following command as <code class="systemitem">root</code>:
</p><pre class="screen">rpm -e yast2-metapackage-handler</pre></td></tr></table></div></div><div class="sect1" title="5.2.

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 a YaST frontend for
the Webpin package search available at
<a class="ulink" href="http://packages.opensuse-community.org/" target="_top">http://packages.opensuse-community.org/</a>. The YaST
module is not available by default—you need to install the package
<code class="systemitem">yast2-packager-webpin</code> first.

Start the Package Search from the YaST Control Center via <span class="guimenu">Software</span>+<span class="guimenu">Package Search</span>.
</p></li><li><p>
Search for a software package by entering it's name into the
<span class="guimenu">Search Expression</span> field and clicking
<span class="guimenu">Search</span>.
</p></li><li><p>
The search result is listed on the <span class="guimenu">Found Packages</span>
tab. Click on a package name to see the repository URL, the package
version number and the architecture in the <span class="guimenu">Package
Description</span> pane.

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).
</p></td></tr></table></div></li><li><p>
Mark a package for installation by activating 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 <span class="guimenu">All Selected Packages</span>. Once you have
finished the package selection, proceed with <span class="guimenu">Next</span>.
</p><p>
The <span class="guimenu">Additional Software Repositories</span> dialog shows the
repositories providing the packages you want to install. They are
activated per default. To proceed with the installation, keep the
repository selection. By default, you remain subscribed to these
repositories after the installation has finished, so you will receive
updates from them in the future.

</p></li><li><p>
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 <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Installation was
