Ansible Install a package in Suse-like systems

Today we’re talking about the Ansible module `zypper`.

The full name is `community.general.zypper` which means is part of the `Community General Collection` so maintained by the Ansible Community contributors.

It works on Syse-like operating systems and Manages packages on SUSE and openSUSE via the zypper package manager.

It’s similar to the yum or DNF module for RedHat-like operating systems or the apt module for Debian-like operating systems.

Parameters

• name string — name or package specific
• state string — present / absent / latest
