The preferred method to install ESS on OpenSUSE Linux is using the 1-click install facility the OpenSUSE Build Service (OBS) provides in their search interface. Nevertheless some seemed to have trouble using that interface, what inspired creating a page collecting direct links to the packages installation sources.
The links in the table below invoke yast2 directly to provide access to OpenSUSE's 1-click-install. Architecture and dependencies are handled automatically. You must be root to do this.
| OpenSuSE | emacs-ess-16.10 |
|---|---|
| Version | 1-click-install |
| SLE 11 SP2 | Install |
| SLE 11 SP3 | Install |
| 12.2 | Install |
| 12.3 | Install |
| SLE 12 | Install |
| 13.1 | Install |
| 13.2 | Install |
| Leap 42.1 | Install |
| Leap 42.2 | Install |
| Factory | Install |
| Tumbleweed | Install |
The version provided here at the moment is ESS-16.10 .
As superuser do
VERSION=$(grep VERSION /etc/SuSE-release | sed -e 's/VERSION = //') zypper addrepo -f \ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel\:languages\:R\:supplement/openSUSE_$VERSION/ \ R-supplement
which automatically determines your installed version of openSUSE. After that
zypper install emacs-ess
will install ESS and all dependencies.
If for whatever reason you prefer downloading and manual installation of emacs-ess, use the search interface for your openSUSE version.
