Installing packages using zypper

English Install/Boot/Login
1

I want to install some packages in my pc that is already installed in another pc. I have created a text file containing those installed packages by using rpm -qa > /tmp/rpm.list.txt. Now how can I use zypper to read the package name from the text file and install it in my pc?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Hi
Thread moved and reopened :wink:

Welcome to the openSUSE forums :slight_smile: What openSUSE release are you using (so I can fix the thread prefix).

Your probably better of to create the lists with zypper for easier parsing;


zypper se -i|cut -f2 -d"|"

 Mesa                                       
 Mesa-32bit                                 
 Mesa-demo-x                                
 Mesa-libEGL1 

versus;
libgio-2_0-0-2.38.2-5.12.x86_64
libgnutls28-3.2.15-11.1.x86_64
libavahi-client3-0.6.31-23.1.x86_64

zypper in -f $( IFS=' ' cat /tmp/rpm.list.txt)
