Download VLC for openSUSE

In order to install VLC on an openSUSE, you have several options:

• Using 1-click install
• Using YaST interface
• Using Command Line

Install VLC using 1-click install

Install VLC using YaST

Add VideoLAN's repository

First, add a new repository (installation source) in YaST (YaST2 -> Software -> Installation Sources)

Then, add the following Repository:

Type: HTTP / Servername: download.videolan.org /
Directory: /pub/videolan/vlc/SuSE/<SUSE Version>

Replace <SUSE Version> in the Directory above with your installed SuSE Version. Supported at this time are :

• 12.3
• 12.2
• 12.1
• 11.4
• 11.1
• Tumbleweed
• Factory

Finally, confirm the addition.

Security

The repository is signed with a GPG Key (gpg key C8DA93D2 fingerprint BC8D 780D E330 8581 B2E0 7085 33DE 8FB7 C8DA 93D2).
Accept this key in YaST and it will warn you in case there is something suspect with the repository.
Accept everything by clicking Finish.

Installation

Go to Software Management and enter VLC in the searchbox.
Select it and click Accept to install it with all its dependencies.
This might require the SUSE CD or DVD.

NB:If you want VLC's Mozilla Plugin, you have to select the vlc-mozillaplugin manually. It does not get installed by default.

You're done with the installation. Have a lot of Fun.
