[Debian]Listing packages installed
You can list all the packages installed using the command:
dpkg --get-selections
With this tool it is possible to export the list of installed packages, proceed as follows:
dpkg - get-selections> my_packages
- Then installing them on another machine with the following command:
- Recovering the previous list:
dpkg --set-selections < my_packages
apt-get dselect-upgrade
The
dpkg-l command returns a list of installed packages with more information. However you can't use it to install a list of packages.
