How to copy app ( installed from software center) and send to another ubuntu computer

Question

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and my friend also has Ubuntu 12.04, he does not have internet so I want to send my apps to his computer (apps that I have downloaded from software center). So how can I send apps downloaded from software center to his Ubuntu computer.

Answer 1

First, I suggest you check about installed packages list about your and your friend's 12.04 by using a command like:

dpkg -l

Second, if all the same, at your 12.04, clean your apt cache by using a command like:

sudo apt-get clean

Third, type this command:

sudo apt-get install <some pkg you want to install>

Fourth, copy and install .deb files from your /var/cache/apt/archives to your friend's 12.04.

• I think you know how to install *.deb package files and there may be some ways better than I answered.
