sudo privilegesThe first step is to update the system to ensure that all packages are up to date:
sudo zypper update

sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ljrkreis:/dbus-tutorial/openSUSE_Leap_15.3/home:ljrkreis:dbus-tutorial.repo
With the Rygel repository added, you can now proceed to install Rygel:
sudo zypper refresh
