== Install OLA on openSUSE ==

On openSUSE OLA is separated into following packages:

  * ola - containing olad, rdmpro_sniffer, usbpro_firmware and ola_* tools
    as well as the manuals.

  * libola1 - containing the shared libraries

  * libola-devel - containing the ola development files

  * python-ola - containing the python bindings for ola[*]

[*] not available on SLE11, SLE12 and openSUSE 42 Leap

=== Installing ola packages ===

The easiest way of installing ola is to install it from the
openSUSE buildservice.
Therefore you only have to add the multimedia:libs repository
to YaST or zypper and use the normal way of installing packages.

==== Step by Step ====
Lines after '>' are command-line commands

Choose the matching [URL] for your openSUSE version:

openSUSE 13.1:
  http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/libs/openSUSE_13.1
openSUSE 13.2:
  http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/libs/openSUSE_13.2
openSUSE Leap 42.1:
  http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/libs/openSUSE_Leap_42.1
openSUSE Tumbleweed:
  http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/libs/openSUSE_Tumbleweed


  1. Add multimedia:libs as repository.
     > sudo zypper ar [URL] "multimedia:libs"     

  2. Refresh repositories. When asked if you trust multimedia:libs, anser with 'y'
     > sudo zypper ref

  3. Install packages
     > sudo zypper in [packages]

  [packages]: See available packages above.

=== Installing ola from source ===

If you are not happy with the pre-built RPMs then you can also install ola from source.
Therefore you have to install first the dependencies:

  > sudo zypper in automake avahi-devel libcppunit-devel libftdi1-devel liblo-devel \
                   libmicrohttpd-devel libusb-devel libuuid-devel ncurses-devel protobuf-devel

If you also want to install the python bindings:

  > sudo zypper in python-protobuf
