I am trying to move from one arch install a (partitioned one) to another (a less-partitioned one) on my computer and I want a similar set up. So I was wondering if there was a simple way to get pacman to install the same packages.



I was thinking of something like pacman -Qe | awk 'print $1' > package_list.txt then creating a script to install from that list.



Is there a way I can create that script in a few commands or how should I go about doing this?

  • You might try packup: aur.archlinux.org/packages/packup It's a helper script. Also see: bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56601

You can use pacman -Qeq instead of pacman -Qe | awk 'print $1'. And pacman can not install AUR packages, better keep them in a separate list or use an AUR helper like pacaur or yaourt.



So, if you use an AUR helper like pacaur, you can export all explicitly installed packages with:



pacman -Qqe > package_list.txt


Or if you prefer only native and explicitly installed packages:



pacman -Qqen > package_list.txt


To install the packages listed in the file:



pacman -S - < package_list.txt


Replace pacman with pacaur or your AUR helper if needed.
