open a terminal and type the following command

sudo apt-get install dpkg-repack fakeroot

Then create a file storage folder *.deb that will be generated by "dpkg-repack".

cd ~

mkdir ~/dpkg-repack

cd ~/dpkg-repack

after the completed folder, go into the folder, then type the following command

fakeroot -u dpkg-repack `dpkg --get-selections | grep install | cut -f1`

This last command will take a long time.

If all processes have been completed and running smoothly, you will get a file *.deb of the applications installed in the folder "/ home / username / dpkg-repack". Well, now you can move the files *.deb to a flash or other storage media to be installed in your friend's computer with the following command:
