Handling dependencies will depend on what distribution you are using, as will how you install zypper.
Just by way of example, I used to be frustrated at Fedora's lack of dependency resolution with rpm, then I found out I was using the wrong tool.
The obvious way to install a packaged that you downloaded from somewhere is:
rpm -i some-package-1.0.i386.rpm
However, rpm doesn't know about yum's repositories. A less-used feature of yum, though, is the ability to install a local RPM and satisfy dependencies:
yum localinstall some-package-1.0.i386.rpm
