VLC is a popular media player that is available on multiple platforms including OpenSUSE. Here's a step by step guide to installing VLC on OpenSUSE.
Before installing VLC, it's a good idea to update your system to ensure you have the latest software updates and security fixes. To do this, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo zypper update
To install VLC, we need to add the VideoLAN repository to our system. We can do this by creating a new repository configuration file. Open the terminal and run the following command to create the new file:
sudo nano /etc/zypp/repos.d/vlc.repo
Next, add the following lines to the file:
[vlc]
name=VideoLAN VLC
enabled=1
autorefresh=0
baseurl=https://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/Tumbleweed/
type=rpm-md
Save the file and exit the editor.
With the repository added, we can now install VLC using the following command:
sudo zypper install vlc
This will download and install VLC along with any necessary dependencies.
Once the installation is complete, you can launch VLC from the applications menu or by running the following command in the terminal:
vlc
In this tutorial, we've covered how to install VLC on OpenSUSE latest. VLC is a powerful media player that supports a wide variety of formats, and should be a great addition to any OpenSUSE system.
