Don't the commands from above need to be here too?

sudo rpm --import https://pkgs.netbird.io/yum/repodata/repomd.xml.key
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh netbird

This does not work because on OpenSUSE MicroOS, the RPM database is read-only, so you cannot add the GPG key. Using transactional-update will ask you to accept the key. I will add instructions to this PR to verify that.

```

2. Install the package and reboot your computer.
```bash
# for CLI only
sudo transactional-update pkg in netbird
# for GUI package
sudo transactional-update pkg in netbird-ui
sudo reboot
```
# MicroOS (immutable OS with selinux)
transactional-update pkg in netbird
reboot

# Tumbleweed / Leap
zypper in netbird
During the transaction, zypper asks whether to trust the repository signing key. Verify that the displayed fingerprint matches:

```text
AA9C 09AA 9DEA 2F58 112B 40DF DFFE AB2F D267 A61F
```

Enter `a` to trust the key permanently.


After rebooting, enable and start the service:

```bash
sudo systemctl enable --now netbird
```
