Hi, Tried to install Telegraf on Suse SLES 11 SP3. Imported the repo based on: > **[Installation | InfluxData Documentation](https://archive.docs.influxdata.com/telegraf/v1.2/introduction/installation/)** But the repository does have Telegraf package (only InfluxDB). Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks, Gjorgji ---

@zare In the documentation it looks like there is a download for `telegraf`: ```auto # add go repository zypper ar -f obs://devel:languages:go/ go # install latest telegraf zypper in telegraf ``` Are you saying those installation instructions don’t work? ---

Yes, the repo registers fine, but install gives: Package ‘telegraf’ is not available in your repositories ---

@zare Those repos are not maintained by us. They are maintained by [`openSUSE Build Service`](https://build.opensuse.org/). You might want to reach out to them. Otherwise, if you can build golang projects, I would recommend [building from source](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf#from-source). Does this help? Jack ---

I’ve installed for source, but will like to make rpm. Looking at the build.py script, is rpm build supported? I dont see that mapped to input switches ---

@zare Yes! We actually have the `.rpm` packages [available for download](https://influxdata.com/downloads). ---
