      I've installed packages via

      ./retropie_packages.sh package-name
      

      But this seems to work only for getting sources and compiling (by default, at least). Is there any way to add --binary or something so it won't waste time and resources? I googled and also looked at the docs but nothing so far.

      And I know this can be done via retropie_setup.sh but it would be very nice to have this way as well.

      Thanks in advance.

        Try

        sudo ./retropie_packages.sh package-name install_bin
        sudo ./retropie_packages.sh package-name configure

            @mitu for what I need, it seems this does the trick:

            ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh pkg depends
            ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh pkg install_bin
