Downloading a package manually

Llama · 2009-08-08 23:39:39

Hi,

How am I supposed to download a package from a regular repository (core/extra/community) manually (without pacman)?

Do you mean "pacman -U" ?
If that's the one , I suggest you read the pacman manual .

You can also use your browser to navigate to the file in the repo, click on it and use "save as" to save it to your computer.

Hope that's what you meant.

Actually , One can use the package url directly with "pacman -U" .

'pacman -Sw <packagename>' downloads the package to cache directory (/var/cache/pacman/pkg/ by default) and

wget "$(pacman -Sp <packagename>)" downloads the package without pacman to the working directory.

Hello Llama!

I use pacman -Swp >> /media/disk/pkg_list on arch computer, and then wget -c -i /media/disk/pkg_list on other computer, but if i have to download just some files, i copy the url from the file to the browser.

Right, but the OP said without pacman:

manually (without pacman)?

Your suggestion clearly uses pacman.

Of course, it's entirely possible that I misunderstood the question.

No you didn't .
Somehow , I read "install" instead of "download" . I should stop posting after midnight .
