Archbang new user needed help

Hi, I'm new in archbang. I've used ubuntu before but not so much. I used it for multimedia application.
I just installed archbang through vmware player(host using windows 7 64bit) two days ago, and installed all my required software.
open-vmware-tools
GimP
Synfig
Krita
Inkscape
Audicity
Openshot
Wine

I like it's up to date package list, it's amazing and performance.

So now I want to install my downloaded apps on my another two pc. How can I do it?
If anyone here tell me what is the step by step procedure that will be really helpful to me. I read the doc regarding offline installation but really didn't get it. Actually I'm not experienced linux user. So please if anyone like to guide me as I'm a beginner.

Regards,
Soumitra

I don't really get what is the problem?

If you don't want to download the installed packages again you can copy the wanted packages from /var/cache/pacman/pkg to an usb stick and go to the folder they are in and do

#pacman -U <packagename>

when you have the new system installed.
If you are looking for an installation guide: http://wiki.archbang.org/index.php?title=Installation

Btw I would not recommend using AB as a beginner; if you are not prepared to study the basics of Arch Linux you won't be able to maintain your system.
