Is it permissible to have installation twice of MSYS2?

[ikspress-archive]

I want to use them with different propose. One of them is just coding and compiling, and the other is compile other software and install them without pacman.

You can absolutely do that. Though I am not sure why you want to do that.

Eg. to have two sets of software: one set installed via pacman, another set built from source. Or maybe to test installing software using different package manager (such as apk, pkgsrc, nix or else).

another set built from source

It can be used from build directory.

Or maybe to test installing software using different package manager (such as apk, pkgsrc, nix or else).

We are not talking about Linux or BSD.

Yes, that's what I want to say. I'm satisified to install some library that not appeared on MSYS2. :D

@Biswa96, pacman also came from Linux. I think nothing prevents a person to try building a cross-platform software on one MSYS2 setup, and test it on another MSYS2 setup :)
