Use apt-get in chroot directory [duplicate]

I am currently in need of using apt-get on a chroot directory. The setup is the following.

I have a chroot setup with schroot. This chroot environment needs to be stripped down as much as possible. Therefore I am planning to remove apt-get and commin from the chroot environment.

I know that Gentoo has the possibility to use portage on a different root directory. Is this possible to set a different root directory for apt.get to install software into my chroot directory?

Thanks in advance

You need debootstrap chroot.

1. Install packages on the host computer.

   sudo apt-get install debootstrap
   sudo apt-get install schroot
   

2. Create a configuration file for schroot.

3. Run debootstrap.

4. Check the chroot.

5. Now you can use whatever you want, including installation using

   apt-get

The detailed instructions and more information can be found in the above link

Another useful link can be found here.

A simpler instructions:

Create a chroot environment into which you will install your packages:

debootstrap precise fakeInstallation

Replace "precise" with your Ubuntu version name, and "fakeInstallation" with directory you want to chroot.

Now you have created a fake installation in the fakeInstallation directory

chroot fakeInstallation

Now you can use apt-get install within the fakeInstallation directory
