Is there a repository for SLES 12.4 or do I have to install it from the source?

OK, this I could solve fast. Run this:

```auto
zypper ar https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/monitoring/SLE_12_SP4/server:monitoring.repo
```

Hi  
Better to use SUSE Package Hub, then your system is still supported with this version of htop… 😉

Please, can you brief describe why using zypper isn’t the best way? I don’t understand your note. I am using zypper for MySQL and this works perfectly - each time a new version is available I update MySQL running [FONT=Courier New][COLOR="#0000FF"]zypper update[/COLOR][/FONT].

Hi  
Not about using zypper, anything from the openSUSE Build Service is technically unsupported, so if you raise a Service Request for a bug report etc it may declined, if you use packages from SUSE Package Hub, your system will still be supported. See [https://packagehub.suse.com/#features](https://packagehub.suse.com/#features)

If the package your after is not on Package Hub, you can always ask the maintainers to push the package to Package Hub so you can then have a supported system 🙂
