Dar (Disk ARchive) is an open-source backup utility that allows you to create and extract archive files. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Dar on OpenSUSE latest.
Before starting the installation process, make sure that:
OpenSUSE has Dar package available in their repository, so we need to add the repository to the system.
Ctrl+Alt+T
on your keyboard.sudo zypper addrepo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/archiving/openSUSE_Leap_15.3/archiving.repo
Once you have added the repository, you can easily install Dar using the following command:

After the installation, verify if the Dar package is properly installed on your system. Use the following command to check the version of Dar.
