Install for Linux openSUSE (13.x)

Last revision: DD Month YYYY

For older versions of openSUSE (and future versions), the name of the packages might change slightly, but the instructions remain mostly valid.

Install Dependencies

• In a Terminal window as 'root' user (or using a sudo command)
• The default version of nodejs provided by default is usually pretty old. It seems better to add the NodeJS repository to the system and install it from there:
  • zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/nodejs/openSUSE_13.2/ Node.js
  • zypper in nodejs nodejs-devel npm (choose Node version v10.xx if possible)
• after install, test:
  • node -v will tell you which version is installed
• zypper install git : distributed revision control system
• zypper install openssl: Secure Sockets and Transport Layer Security
• zypper install mozilla-nss-tools : NSS Security Tool
• zypper install ca-certificates ca-certificates-cacert ca-certificates-mozilla mozilla-nss-certs : CA certificates
• zypper install ImageMagick : Viewer and Converter for Images
• zypper install exiftool : Metadata extraction for files
• zypper install xdotool : Tools to fake mouse/keyboard input and move the mouse outside the viewport
• some packages that we use might require the compiler and development packages to be installed
  • zypper install -t pattern devel_C_C++
• if you want to use privileged network ports (port 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS), you need to add capabilities to the node binary:
  • zypper install libcap-progs
  • sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/bin/node
    • this allows a regular user to use node with privileged ports
• Packages provided by other repositories
  • add repositories:
    • zypper ar http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_13.2 Packman_13.2
    • zypper ar http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64 Google_chrome
    • zypper refresh
  • zypper install ffmpeg libffmpeg-devel : Viewer and Converter for Images
  • zypper install google-chrome-stable: Google Chrome browser
