List apps installed? [solved]

I hope this hasn't been discussed before.
What I want to know is how to generate alist of apps installed without
the apps installed as dependencies? Is this possible?

You really need to read pacman's man page.

Look at the QUERY OPTIONS section.

I have read the man page and all teh query options. All I can figure out is how to generate
a list of explicitly installed. However it shows what is installed as dependencies as well.
I have tried Qqe Qqg Qgm Qe Qet but to no luck

"pacman -Qe" shows you all packages which are explicitly installed and "pacman -Qet" shows you all packages which are explicitly installed and not required by any other package (i.e. which are not dependencies of anything else).

If it's showing you packages which you think should be listed as dependencies then you may have incorrectly installed some apps. Check "pacman -Qi <pkgname>" to see if a package is installed explicitly or as a dependency.
