In this hands-on lab, we will be using Zypper to manage software and repositories. We will download a package and make a local repository and then install from that repository.
Learning Objectives
Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:

sudo zypper ar /home/cloud_user/localrepo/x86_64/ localrepo sudo zypper refreshInstall Nginx from the
localrepo:sudo zypper in localrepo:nginxAnswer
yto the question.Verify the installed Nginx came from the local repo:
sudo zypper info nginx
