openSUSE Tumbleweed

(back)

See Getting Started documentation for discussion on choosing this Linux distribution.

Installation

Windows Subsystem for Linux

Note: if something goes wrong and you want to try starting over, you can run: wsl --unregister openSUSE-Tumbleweed.

  1. Open PowerShell in Windows Terminal and run: wsl --install openSUSE-Tumbleweed.
  2. Begin following installation prompts (Hit Next to continue is the first prompt at the time of writing). Note that the keyboard is used to navigate menus and prompts (tab, arrow keys, enter).
  3. Accept EULA.
  4. Create a user for yourself. When choosing a password, consider that your user account is isolated to the WSL distribution. It's convenient to use a simpler or weaker password (and not typical to manually configure remote access to it). Ensure that your password is used for the system administrator.
  5. Accept a prompt to really use your password if you get one.
  6. Navigate to Finish once the installer completes.
  7. At the new command prompt, try sudo test and enter your password to ensure that you can successfully run commands as the root user.

Proceed to the next section to begin setting up the freshly installed Linux distribution.

Bootstrapping a Fresh Installation

  1. Update your system's information about internet package repositories with: sudo zypper ref.
  2. Update currently installed packages with sudo zypper up -y.
  3. If zypper ps -s lists any programs that need to be restarted (such as bash, the shell program itself exit the current session with exit and start a new one.
  4. Run git and confirm you see the following output:
If 'git' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
    cnf git
  1. Run cnf git as suggested to determine how to install Git. Confirm you see the following output:
The program 'git' can be found in the following package:
  * git-core [ path: /usr/bin/git, repository: zypp (repo-oss) ]

Try installing with:
    sudo zypper install git-core
  1. Run sudo zypper install -y git-core as suggested (the -y skips a prompt).
  2. Run git version to verify installation.

Note: further steps have been automated in a shell script at: scripts/bootstrap.sh. From here you may proceed to the next page.

  1. Run python3.11 then cnf python3.11 to reveal the next command to run: sudo zypper install python311-base.
  2. Run python3.11 --version to verify installation.
  3. Install pip3.11 with: sudo zypper install python311-pip.
  4. Install rcmpy with: pip install --user rcmpy.

Proceed to the next page for instructions on initial repository cloning and setup.
