# salt.modules.zypper

Package support for openSUSE via the zypper package manager

`salt.modules.zypper.` `install`(name=None, refresh=False, pkgs=None, sources=None, **kwargs)

  Install the passed package(s), add refresh=True to run 'zypper refresh' before package is installed.

  name

    The name of the package to be installed. Note that this parameter is ignored if either "pkgs" or "sources" is passed. Additionally, please note that this option can only be used to install packages from a software repository. To install a package file manually, use the "sources" option.

    CLI Example:

        salt '*' pkg.install <package name>

  refresh
    Whether or not to refresh the package database before installing.
  version
    Can be either a version number, or the combination of a comparison operator (<, >, <=, >=, =) and a version number (ex. '>1.2.3-4'). This parameter is ignored if "pkgs" or "sources" is passed.

  Multiple Package Installation Options:

  pkgs

    A list of packages to install from a software repository. Must be passed as a python list. A specific version number can be specified by using a single-element dict representing the package and its version. As with the `version` parameter above, comparison operators can be used to target a specific version of a package.

    CLI Examples:

        salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
        salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", {"bar": "1.2.3-4"}]'
        salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", {"bar": "<1.2.3-4"}]'

  sources

    A list of RPM packages to install. Must be passed as a list of dicts, with the keys being package names, and the values being the source URI or local path to the package.

    CLI Example:

        salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"foo": "salt://foo.rpm"},{"bar": "salt://bar.rpm"}]'

`salt.modules.zypper.` `latest_version`(*names, **kwargs)

  Return the latest version of the named package available for upgrade or installation. If more than one package name is specified, a dict of name/version pairs is returned.

      salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
