Arch Package Sorter & Installer

A simple bash script that:

• Sorts a list of packages into official (Pacman) and AUR categories.
• Provides an interactive menu to install them.

Requirements

• An Arch-based Linux distribution.
• yay (AUR helper) is recommended for AUR support.

How to Use

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ostarch/sortNinstal/
   cd sortNinstal

2. Create your package list.

   Create a raw-packagelist.txt file with one package name per line.

3. Run the script and follow the on-screen instructions:

   ./sortNinstall.sh

The script will create a sorted-packagelist.txt file with your packages categorized.

Example

Given a raw-packagelist.txt like this:

# --- Messed Up Package List---
fastfetch # This is a comment
htop
abcdefg
### AUR ###
google-chrome

The script will generate sorted-packagelist.txt:

-###-PACMAN-Packages-###-
fastfetch # This is a comment
htop

-###-AUR-Packages-###-
google-chrome

-###-NotFound-Packages-###-
abcdefg

-###-Hashed-Data-###-
### AUR ###
# --- Messed Up Package List---
