Install and configure components¶

1. Install the packages:

   On openSUSE:

   # zypper addrepo -f obs://network:time/openSUSE_13.2 network_time
   # zypper refresh
   # zypper install chrony
   

   On SLES:

   # zypper addrepo -f obs://network:time/SLE_12 network_time
   # zypper refresh
   # zypper install chrony
   

   Note

   The packages are signed by GPG key 17280DDF. You should verify the fingerprint of the imported GPG key before using it.
