From the IPython website:

Equivalent System Packages¶
conda:
$ conda install ipython
opensuse:
$ sudo zypper install ipython

However, these system packages will not be used for building Sage because using Python site-packages is not supported by the Sage distribution; see https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/29023
