[SOLVED] How can install YaST Opensuse on Zorin ?

Hello

How can install YaST on Zorin Os ?

Thanks

Hi and Welcome to Zorin! I'm afraid 'Yet another Setup Tool' will not work on Zorin - it was designed for use with .rpm's not .deb packages!

Why can not use program alien to convert .rpm packages to .deb?

You can indeed do that but YaST was specifically set up to install .rpm's for distros that run Red Hat Package Manager files! Alien converts .rpm to .deb - then you use Gdebi Package Installer. Conversely, if you were running an OS that relied on rpm's and you wanted .deb packages converting, you would install 'worm'.

Thank you

But I need to such as Control Panel Windows, and I want the same features, Is there a control panel such as YaST compatible perfect with Zorin os?

Hi, the nearest you can get to control panel is 'System Settings' - Menu | System Tools | System Settings. For installation of programs there are 3 choices:

1. Ubuntu Software Center from the main Menu

2. Synaptic Package Manager (Menu | System Tools | Administration | Synaptic Package Manager) - you can do a heuristic search if you are not sure of the application you want or just type a genre, e.g., Office to see all the applications available for that type of Software.

3. Via Command line in a Terminal (Menu | Accessories | Termnal or Ctrl+ Alt+ T) and enter:

Code:

sudo apt-get install (name of package0

- if you don't name the package correctly, you will be prompted with - "Could not find a package of that name, did you mean ...?" and it offers what you might have intended to request.

Hope this helps!
