Install packages on centos 7.2 based on packages installed on other centos

Question

I have a centos 7.2 installed on virtualbox, and my customer have a centos 7.2 too. I written a program fir customer and for technical reasons they can not build source on their system. For that I must install every package they have with exact same version on my centos and build source. I've got package list using this command from customer system:

yum list installed < packages_list

Now I have packages_list file that contains packages and versions, the file looks like that:

...
colord-gtk.x86_64                   0.1.25-4.el7            @anaconda/7.2       
colord-libs.x86_64                  1.2.7-2.el7             @anaconda/7.2       
compat-db-headers.noarch            4.7.25-28.el7           @anaconda/7.2       
compat-db47.x86_64                  4.7.25-28.el7           @anaconda/7.2     
...

Now, how I can install exactly same packages with same version on my centos? I need to keep some packages for development like gcc, make, ... And other ones should be install with same version.

Thanks for any help

Answer 1

First, make sure you have configured the same repositories in /etc/yum.conf and/or /etc/yum/repos.d/

Then, copy the list of packages to the target system.

Finally, if your file is called installed.txt, and you've copied it to the working directory of the target CentOS system, try this from a root or sudo -i prompt:

awk '{ print $1 "-" $2 }' installed.txt | xargs yum install
