Sorry – looked in forum Search but saw nothing.
Is there a 1) pacman command to list all installed packages? or 2) a place in /home or /root to see it in txt form?
what about cli apps?
I had a couple digital challenges this year where I installed a lot of stuff to see what would work…got a free hour or two this aft, would like to do some housecleaning
thanks!
What about: yay -Q >> myapps.lst
List all installed packages (with their versions):
pacman -Q
List all installed packages (without showing version):
pacman -Qq
Pipe to a .txt file:
pacman -Qq > packages.txt
(This will save the .txt file to your HOME directory; you can specify another path, or use another name for the text file, of course)
piping that output to text is ideal. thank you!
You are looking for basic package manager functionality. You would be better off looking at the pacman manpage or the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks
Pacman -Q is nice. How could you list this alphabetically in ascending order. . . by directory . . . in the output. Then print this all out into a few formatted pages. . . .???

The list is already presented in alphabetical order.
I’m not sure exactly what you mean here, and don’t know why you’d want this, but pacman -Qql will show all files (plus their paths) installed by every package. It’s going to be a long list.
you’re a rascal
Paths. . . correct . . . my poor attempt to be grammatical. I looked at my terminal listings and it all started with the letter ‘o’. . though. . . it didn’t seem alphabetical.
Rich
You’re outputting more lines of text than the terminal can handle.
Yikes . . . !
Rich
pruning apps now–thanks for the assistance @Stagger_Lee
WHATS INSTALLED FROM THE AUR
awk ’ /] installed / { v[$4]=$5; d[$4]=$1; } END { for (p in v) print d[p], p, v[p] } ’ /var/log/pacman.log | sort | grep -wFf <(pacman -Qemq)
WHATS INSTALLED FROM EndeavourOS PACKAGES
awk ’ /] installed / { v[$4]=$5; d[$4]=$1; } END { for (p in v) print d[p], p, v[p] } ’ /var/log/pacman.log | sort | grep -wFf <(pacman -Qenq)
pacman -Qm
And just to elaborate a little:
List all installed AUR packages, including AUR packages that were installed as dependencies:
pacman -Qm
List all AUR packages, not including AUR packages that were installed as dependencies:
pacman -Qme
List all packages installed from a specific repo:
pacman -Sl repo_name | grep installed
(replace repo_name with the name of the repo, for example core or extra)
I don’t use EndeavourOS but I think the repo is called endeavouros so to see all packages installed from the EOS repo it would be pacman -Sl endeavouros | grep installed (check your /etc/pacman.conf for the correct repo name if endeavouros doesn’t work).
@endeavour ~]$ awk ’ /] installed / { v[$4]=$5; d[$4]=$1; } END { for (p in v) print d[p], p, v[p] } ’ /var/log/pacman.log | sort | grep -wFf <(pacman -Qenq)
