introduction
in previous article we discussed how to install SLES15SP1 without any packages
but NON af any additional tools pr packages installed YET , like :
- iputils : which include a lot of useful commands like ping
- text edition Nano : which equivalent to notepad in microsoft windows

add - remove programs
when it come to installation tools and packages , we have to issues :
command or utility to install program
repository [ store] to download this program
most linux distribution [like Redhat, suse ] have tools called [rpm] to manage add remove program
suse has also ti’s own special tool called [ zypper] to manage add remove program
in network pioneers : we will use zypper as default software manager utility
curently we will use zypper with narrow wide ,
but of course we will have separate article to maximize our knowledge of this grate utility
regarding repository : we are using suse online store until we decide to change it later and use local repository
let’s go
check current repository
use command :
zypper repos
or
zypper repos -u
to check available repository
install some helpful additional tools
currently we install only two helpful tools : iputils and vi editor

first login to suse.com and create account : please press here
then use command to activate your registration
now SLES 15 is registered and we can download and install module extension from suse stores
