Yes, I have read a number of threads about GSC but nowhere is it mentioned how to install the binary and the catalog(s).
I am running openSuse Leap 15.4 but I don't find any of it in the repository Astrophotography_Software.
Any tips of where to get it is appreciated!

Hello,

You can read on Indilib.org, section Get it: sudo apt install gsc for Ubuntu by example..

Thank You!
Yes, in Kubuntu 22.04 it is already installed, I missed that!
Now I will see how I can get it in the openSuse (my standard platform) also, maybe compile sources.

You could try 'alien' to convert the deb package into an RPM. Or compile yourself:
git clone https://git.launchpad.net/gsc
cd gsc
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
make install
If you prefer to install into /usr/local note that the location /usr/share/GSC is hardcoded in the code, and you'd have to set the environment variables GSCDAT=/usr/local/share/GSC and GSCBIN=/usr/local/share/GSC/bin, or create a link /usr/share/GSC->/usr/local/share/GSC

Edit: Rant: Why is 'Edit' converting all [] tags into <> tags, and then not understand them anymore. Grrr....
