#!/bin/bash
readonly pacman_cmd="pacman -S "
readonly install_pkg=$(sed -e "s/#.*//g" -e "/^$/d" $1 | paste -s -d" " )
readonly install_cmd="${pacman_cmd} ${install_pkg}"
# "s/#.*//" => delete string after '#'
# "/^$/d"   => delete blank line ('$' is end of line, '^' is begining of line)
# "s/^/${pacman_cmd}/" => push "pacman -S " on the begining every line
echo -e "\e[1;32m${install_cmd}\e[0m"
eval "${install_cmd}"

Execute above script on terminal :

sudo sh install.sh install_list_pacman

6-2. solution 2

Output like:

pacman -S ...
pacman -S ...
...
...
pacman -S ...

Installing shell:

#!/bin/bash
readonly pacman_cmd="pacman -S "

eval "${install_cmd}"

Execute above script on terminal :

yes | sudo sh install.sh install_list_pacman

7. Speed up compressing pacakge... for makepkg

Refer to here

Replace

PKGEXT='.pkg.tar.xz'
SRCEXT='.src.tar.gz'

with

PKGEXT='.pkg.tar'
SRCEXT='.src.tar'
