+# Purpose
+
+You may be able to find Bats pre-packaged for your operating system. If available, such a package may offer a convenient alternative to cloning the Github repository:
+
+ * The installation is usually shared by all users on the system.
+ * The ``bats`` command will typically be available without configuration of any kind.
+ * Updates and bugfixes may be provided via the regular stream of package updates for your system.
+
+## openSUSE
+
+Bats is available for openSUSE Tumbleweed (the rolling release), and will be available in the upcoming openSUSE Leap 42.1 release. To install it, run
+
+    zypper in bats
+
+For older releases, take a look at the [development project on OBS (Open Build Service)](https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:tools/bats). In the lower-right box you will find build results for all releases for which a Bats package is built.
+
+For example, to install Bats on openSUSE 13.2:
+
+ 1. Click on the link corresponding to the distribution.
+ 2. Add the linked-to "download repository" as a zypper repository:
+
+        zypper add -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools/openSUSE_13.2 devel-tools
+
+ 3. Install bats the usual way: ``zypper in bats``
