Support for OpenSUSE 15

[kpaschen]

Summary

The installer fails when I run it on my linux system with openSUSE 15 (Leap).

Steps to reproduce

curl -sL https://ibm.biz/idt-installer | bash

Operating System
Linux, openSUSE Leap

Supporting details

Here is the output from the 'curl' command above:

[main] --==[ IBM Cloud Developer Tools for Linux/MacOS - Installer, v1.2.3 ]==--
[main] WARN: Linux has only been tested on Ubuntu, RedHat, Centos, Debian and Fedora distrubutions please let us know if you use this utility on other Distros
which: no bx in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin)

[install] Note: You may be prompted for your 'sudo' password during install.
[install_deps] ERROR: This script has not been updated for use with your linux distribution ("openSUSE Leap 15.0")

I was able to work around this by installing 'yum' and modifying the installer script to treat openSUSE like Redhat, CentOS or Fedora. I'm happy to send you a pull request with my changes, but they are quite minor and I'm sure you'll want to do more testing before declaring openSUSE supported.

Development "done" checklist

• Test case to verify
• Public Documentation updated
• Change added to "release notes" as appropropriate
• Notification to stakeholders (OM, other squads, etc)

You should use dnf instead of yum for identification missing things on openSUSE today. openSUSE is supporting zypper, dnf and apt commands (converting requirements for other linux distributions to openSUSE specific requirements). It would be fair after founding the Linux Distributions Working Group to support also openSUSE, which is leading here pro all Linux distributions.
