| + | |
| + | When one installs any package to Ubuntu, the *.deb files downloaded will be saved in <code>/var/cache/apt/archives</code> directory. So if the same packages needs to be installed on other machines with same Ubuntu distribution version, the downloaded *.deb files can be used. Please follow below procedure to do that: |
| + | |
| + | # Copy the files from <code>/var/cache/apt/archives</code> directory to any external drive. |
| + | # Copy these files from external drive to the Desktop. |
| + | # Use below commands to copy files from Desktop to <code>/var/cache/apt/archives</code> directory: |
| + | sudo -s |
| + | cp ~/Desktop/*.deb /var/cache/apt/archives |
| + | sudo apt-get install <code>package_name</code> |
| + | |
| + | Note: Unless you have updated repos on the target machine, you may have to run <code>sudo apt-get update</code> which will require Internet. |
