I am writing a script to auto install some packages and I was planning using zypper to install them so that the dependencies would be solved automatically. Whenever I try to install a package using:

zypper install <package name>

It says that the package does not exist. I am in the same directory as the package. I have also tried ./<package name>.

Is there a way to use the rpm command with automatic dependency resolution via the repositories? Or does someone have a solution to my zypper problem?

Thanks! You're help is much appreciated!

I guess I'm figuring that zypper doesn't install from a local location like my harddrive? It works if I just name a package (without version info). It will get it from the repositories. No problem I guess. I guess I'll use rpm -ivh for my local installs.
