Install previously downloaded package

hi guys
i m pretty noob in arch. i was ubuntu user so i install arch to give it try and my amaze its speed and philosphy of upgradation has made me its fan.
now i wanna make it primary system i've downloaded many packages and due to my speed limitation i can redownload them.
is there anyway i can install them on fresh installation. in ubuntu i used to make iso wid apt on cd software and later add it in apt source list as repo.
plz tell me full procedure to install these packages in arch.
thnx in advance.

You can create a custom repo with pacman like in ubuntu if you like. The process would be something like this:
1. Put all your pkgs in a folder, for example ~/pkgs
2. Run this command
repo-add ~/pkgs/custom.db.tar.gz ~/pkgs/*.pkg.tar.gz
This will create a db for your custom repository in the directory with the pkgs.
3. Burn this folder to a disk
4. On the new system where you want to add these packages add this to your pacman.conf:
[custom]
Server = file:///path/to/mounted/cdrom
5. Install the packages with:
pacman -S custom/package
I haven't tested this myself (I'm not at a arch computer atm) but this process should be what you're looking for.
EDIT: I should mention that this info comes from the pacman.conf manpage, if you want to check that out

The app store says lion is installed. However it is not on my computer despite running and apparently successfully installing the downloaded package

The app store says lion is installed. However it is not on my computer despite running and apparently successfully installing the downloaded package. Any thoughts? Obviously I cant download it again as the app store says it is installed. I cannot find the package on my mac, when I try and search for it!!

Hi Hugh,
Once you download Lion from the app store you still have to install it. Its located in your Applications directory.

How to install previously downloaded app? (Downloaded Mountain Lion, didn't install yet)

Downloaded Mountain Lion but didn't install at the time...rebooted then in App Store it showed the "app" was downloaded but there didn't appear to be any way to install it. Clicking on the item (in the "purchases" tab) took me to the app description, but without any option to install, just download. But I already did that!
Does this mean I need to re-download and therefore imply that installation is required BEFORE you reboot?????
I already tried to click again the "download" option, but that just started to re-download Mountain Lion, and so I cancelled that, and now Mountain Lion doesn't even show in the Purchases tab! So now I may have no option.
Poor job Apple!
Can anyone clarify the process?

Check if it's in the Applications folder. If it's not, you'll need to redownload it.

Pacman. Cannot install previously uninstalled package from cache

Hi all.
I'm trying to install packages from shared cache to keep few machines in sync. I thought using "pacman -U --needed /path/to/cache/*" would solve it. However when I started testing I've noticed that when one package is removed I cannot install it back that way. Pacman will just skip that package for some reason. If i use the same command but specify the the package /path/to/package/package_name or even first letter followed by * it will also install it. Why is that?

Is it possible that the '*' is expanded in some unexpected way?
I'm not using nfs, I tested it by uninstalling aurphan and running
$ sudo pacman -U --needed /var/cache/pacman/pkg/*

If you factory reset, it wont make the update go away, but you should back up and reset before you install the update.

HOW TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL PREVIOUS FIRMWARE FOR ...

Pleae help on how to solved the problem. Before the update, I can able to record programs on my Live TV Subscription, particularly the myTV DVBH program. But after the update, the record function on the Options of Live TV was gone. That's why, i won't able to record programs anymore. Please help what should I do, If there's any other firmware that I may be able to replace the current one, for my record function to be operational again, or if there's no their update version available, please help me revert back to the original firmware... Thanks! I hope to get feedback soon...
As I forsee, the only solution possible is to download and install previous firmware version in which Recording function on Live TV is not disable....

Yes, a Nokia Care Center is the Final solution if the website can't offer any solution. Thanks for the feedback. Actually, my phone is still in Warranty, that's why I'm pretty sure that I don't have to pay for the services that will be perform. But still I'm into looking other solution to prevent bringing my phone to Nokia Care.
First, I had already an experience with the Nokia Care Center when I have repair my 1st N96 which took a month but they failed to repair, thus my service provider, Smart Communications, just replace the device with a new one.
Next, my location is far from the Nokia Care Center.
Finally, I opt to save all my files, with the device which is almost 95% full or 14.8GB.
Please help if there's any other option...

I installed ios6 and cannot get my previously downloaded Kindle books

I installed ios6 on my ipad and now cannot get my previously downloaded Kindle books. The error message says to remove them
from the ipad and then redownload but they want uninstall.

Well this was my first time using the support communities app on the web so when I tried to get the answer there were literally 1000's of post and I was not sure which one pertained to me and my iPhone issue. Sorry if I offended in some manner, didn't mean to.

Can't download packages during install

I'm using an Arch 0.7RC disk to install. I'm attempting to install the base packages during install from numerous mirrors and getting an error stating that one or more packages could not be downloaded.
Should I burn a newer 0.7 final ISO? I figureed I could just use this one and download newer packages with pacman.

Hi trey.
Is networking set up? You may need to install a NIC driver, configure the network, and then start the network before you can run pacman or download from external sources.
You might find it easier to install the 'base' packages first. Next set up your network connection. And then update/upgrade the packages.
You'll need to include your NIC driver name in the 'MODULES' array in /etc/rc.conf. You'll also need to specify the ethernet interfaces. Then you can run:
/etc/rc.d/network start
and, if this works, you should be able to run pacman.

Where are the "Install and Keep Package" Downloads?

I just did a clean install of 10.5.
As I wanted to save all the download Apple 10.5 updates to install other macs, I asked Software Update to "Install and Keep Package".
It downloaded them and installed them, BUT I cant find them on my HD?
Where are they?

Same problem here with Install and Save from the Updater.
I do have a permission issue which is suppose to be solved by installing twice the Update OS X 10.5.8 Combo (?). I don't have speed connection and it took me 26 hours to load this update ...and now I can't find it.

Installing Apple downloads/updates--how do I determine what I need?

After searching for a number of downloads that are referenced in the discussions as possible fixes, I am trying to sort out which I should install on my imac. For instance, I see that the Graphics Update 1.0 and the Time Machine update (addressing the interface with Time Capsule) have helped solve some issues.
Looking at the release date for both these updates, I see that the 10.5.3 combo update, which I installed, is more recent. As a matter of practice, can I assume that the Graphics Update and the Time Machine update are included in the combo update because they were released prior? I looked in the details on the Combo update page, but I didn't see specifics as to what previous downloads it included.
I would like to know how one knows which updates, or other downloads, one should install.
I've had a number of performance issues since installing the combo update. They include:
-machine running slowly
-many freezes that require shut down
-force quit does not always work
-Time Machine will not find the backup volume after the mac has gone to sleep (this happens with Firewire only, USB seems to work)
In addition to the question of how as a matter of practice to determine which downloads I should install, and how to figure out which downloads/updates I already have after installing a system update such as the Combo 10.5.3, if anyone has any solutions for my list of issues, please comment.
Thanks,
HM

How to install previous Java version?

SL comes with Java SE 6 (32 and 64 bit). Is there a way to install previous version of Java? I am looking for J2SE 1.4.2.
Any idea?
Thanks

It's not supported by Apple, but here's what was posted on another site. The user name is the same as yours, but since you're asking I'm presuming that it wasn't you. Note that I'm quoting; I haven't tried it myself; as with any such hack, unexpected consequences may arise:
xsi wrote:I was able to get Java 1.4.2 working with Safari in Snow Leopard >tonight. Here's how to do it.
1. Install Java 1.4.2 as outlined in this link:
http://wiki.oneswarm.org/index.php/OSX_10.6_SnowLeopard
Alternatively, extract Java 1.4.2 from the Java For Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4 installation package, and install it in a similar manner:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Javafor_Mac_OS_X_10_5_Update4
2. Make sure that Java 1.4.2 is the first 32-bit application in the list. Under Java Preferences, my list reads:
Java SE 6 64-bit
J2SE 1.4.2 32-bit
Java SE 6 32-bit
3. Open Safari in 32-bit mode via the Get Info window for Safari. This is where I was getting screwed up. It finally occurred to me that Java 1.4.2 is a 32-bit application, but if Safari was opening in 64-bit mode, it wouldn't use the 32-bit Java apps.
Once I opened Safari in 32-bit mode, Safari was able to use Java 1.4.2.
Hope that helps.

Acrobat XI Pro Install via CCP Packager for Enterprise unuseable - tips for the unitiated

Well, after at least six weeks of trying to script and package Acrobat XI via the CCP packager for enterprise (Windows 7 X64) I have learnt many home truths which I thought I would share with the unitiated. This process, from the point of view of an IT admin who has to mass deploy this application to 680 PC's as part of an updated SOE has been the most painful scripting process I have ever found of any package (we successfully deploy Office, and Autodesk apps!). Not only that, but our entire State technical colleges have all purchased the same version. This will be affecting IT staff across a huge area, perhaps worldwide. Below are some some facts relating to this that I will share so others do not have to trawl the minefiled of dead-ends and confusion that is Adobe forums/official documentation. Apologies for not finding direct links to all of the below just yet but I've run out of time as we now have MANUALLY install Acrobat XI on all of these machines. When I get time I will post some of the links:
Facts:
Acrobat XI and Lightroom are NOT "CC" packages. Therefore they rely on a spearate serial numbers to install standalone without another major Adobe product (eg Photoshop) to be installed and then run first. Otherwise they will run in trial mode. If your organistaion is wanting to install these products I highly recommend seeing if Adobe can provide you with these.
Without the use of serial number for Acrobat XI this almost renders the Customisation Wizard effectively useless, none of the silent install switch will work with "Offline Exception"
Yes, one Adobe employee notes that you must install a major package before Acrobat but as the aoplogies for not fixing this were posted last August, we are still in the quandry of not having any useable fix except for the ridiculous "Exceptions" file and Exceptions installer.
If you run the Build and/or execeptions msi's it installs Acrobat twice, gold Adobe, gold.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/6039529#6039529 - look at this for a working script for Photoshop etc, it's great.Thanks to http://forums.adobe.com/people/PetriRiihikallio for posting this. However, alas, it cannot silently install Acrobat correctly (thus far).
It appears that the msi builder for CCP for enterprise is fatally flawed. I have never had as much problem with installing msi's - ever. For example, I have had to re-package the msi multiples times and many times simply running the msi will fail.
The idea that all major installs have to install the 32 bit version AND the 64 bit version is riduclous, enough said.
http://blogs.adobe.com/acrolaw/2013/02/acrobat-xi-deployment-guide-for-large-firms/ this guide may be useful for people who have been given a separate serial number.
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/known-issues-acrobat-xi-reader.html another useful link
I think for the time being I have now wasted enough time trying to tear my hair out with this. I will be waiting for Adobe to announce Acrobat and Lightroom CC. this will enable the correct deployment of a single app without having the bloat my SOE with unnecessary applications that most staff rarely use. Ahhh, I love a good manual install via VNC/RDP, don't you?

Hi Waltpenner and others, yes it can be very confusing and writing script after script got me even more confused.
Now, the story continues, after 6+ hours on the phone with Adobe Support...
When you install Adobe Acrobat XI it asks you to install the C++ Redistributable package and this is where the msi will STOP INSTALLING. even though the MSI says "complete"
Now you think to yourself, OK, I'll write a script to install this msi package no problems, solved.
Nope, the msi for Acrobat Pro XI will Still Halt even if you write this into the script along with halt no err or something similar in your code.
So what do you do?
When you create your msi in Cloud Packager, even though this feels completely against your better judgement tick the box under conflicting Process entitled "Ignore Conflicts and Continue installations" This will (finally) allow you to run the msi. Please see the wonderful deployment script above, which you may still need to edit to your needs (I did) - which I post once it's working perfectly.
You could then install the C++ redist from Microsoft at a later date ----> On that note however (thanks Microsoft for this gem) the Visual C++ redist is an msi for download, but it's actually a zip file calling an exe inside it. I suggest using the App Deploy Repackager to help you change registry entries if you need to install this, but choose your favourite tool (and no I'm not talking about that work colleague you don't like
Note: You will need to install this for certain features of Acro Pro XI to function, most of which relates to sever functions of Acrobat. I will post the exact reasons when I find them. Under pressure to get this deployed, I have not deployed this pckage as yet. Also, I'm unsure how Visual C++ will affect other major apps across my enterprise just yet.
Things to still consider
Acrobat still installs twice in the program directory (1.7GB nd 1.8GB respectively)
As all of the other CC packages are quite easy to install, Adobe needs to provide better service to it's enterprise customers by creating a proper version of Acrobat and Lightroom which is Acrobat CC and Lightroom CC, not version numbers tacked onto their new Cloud Service.
As for the above point I would still recommend creating the smallest msi packages you can, as large msi's that install a number of Apps (eg all of the web/image editing apps) take forever and quite often exhibit install errors
The amount of time I've spent on this is ridiculous, and we've had to package everything from Office to Autocad.
The amount of bandwidth I've chewed up is excessive, with package re-creation (download) of all the products probably about 100GB - however the ability to edit these packages with updates with the CCP is a good step forward.
Using the CCP through a proxy is horrendous, and complicated with the amount of exception through the servers you have to prvide (even then it rarely works).
The MSI packager still needs quite alot of work. As Petri states why he had to write a script like this when Adobe could have done the same thing is beyond him.
Adobe needs to trawl it's forum posts and take out the many false leads and dead ends provided by it's experts.
When I Think of anything else, or wite more scipts I'll let you all know.
Cheers,

Install previously downloaded package
