Installing OliveTin on OpenSUSE

OliveTin is an open-source software development kit that is specially designed for building IoT devices. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of OliveTin on OpenSUSE Linux.

Prerequisites

Before starting with the installation, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• OpenSUSE Linux latest version installed on your system
• Git version control tool
• CMake build system
• GCC and G++ C++ compilers
• Python 3.x
• Pip package manager for Python 3.x

Step 1: Install Git

If Git is not already installed on your system, open a terminal and run the following command to install it:

sudo zypper install git

Step 2: Install CMake

Next, we need to install CMake. It is a cross-platform build system that is used to build the OliveTin library. Run the following command to install CMake:

sudo zypper install cmake

Step 3: Install GCC and G++

Run the following command to install GCC and G++ compilers:

sudo zypper install gcc gcc-c++

Step 4: Install Python3 and Pip3

If Python3 and Pip3 are not installed on your system, you can use the following command to install them:

sudo zypper install python3 python3-pip

Step 5: Clone OliveTin from GitHub

Now, we will clone the OliveTin repository from GitHub by using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/OliveTin/OliveTin.git

This command will create a directory named OliveTin in your current working directory.

Step 6: Build and Install OliveTin

The next step is to navigate to the OliveTin directory and build it using CMake. Run the following commands:

cd OliveTin
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

Once the CMake configuration is complete, you can proceed with building the library:

make
sudo make install

These commands will build the OliveTin library and install it on your system.

Conclusion

We have successfully installed the OliveTin library on OpenSUSE Linux. You can now start building IoT devices using OliveTin.
