Hello and welcome to the forums!

Is there a specific error message you're getting when trying to install?
If you didn't get an 8% raise over the course of the pandemic, you took a pay cut.

Unfortunately SUSE Linux isn't a supported distro. See Nagios XI System Requirements for a list of supported distros.
Supported Distributions:
Nagios XI is currently supported with the following Linux distributions for 64 bit installations only:
  • RHEL 7/8
  • CentOS 7/8
  • Oracle Linux 7/8
  • Debian 9/10
  • Ubuntu 16/18/20 (LTS)
-- Nagios XI System Requirements
The reason for this is that Nagios has some patched versions of popular packages (e.g. nmap) that's available in the repo.nagios.com package repository, and there's not a package repo for SUSE.
If you didn't get an 8% raise over the course of the pandemic, you took a pay cut.

No problem!

If you do find out it's easier to install Nagios XI on SUSE than I've encountered, perhaps you can report back here and I can relay the information to the development team and/or update our KB with steps to install on SUSE.

However this might be simply a waste of your time. Simplest solution is to deploy from one of the pre-built systems. Nagios XI OVA files are available for download here: https://www.nagios.com/downloads/nagios-xi/vmware/

The OVA includes everything you need to run Nagios XI, including the base OS. If you use this, however, you won't be able to select a distro for the base OS; all the OVA files are built upon CentOS 7 (included in and an inexorable part of the OVA file's Linux file system).
