Why make it so hard?  Just use the facilities built into Emacs, namely
init.el and package.el and put something like this in your init.

    (setq package-selected-packages
          '(auctex ess
            company
            js2-mode
            magit
            nyan-mode
            pdf-tools
            paredit
            visual-regexp))

    (package-initialize)
    (when (fboundp 'package-install-selected-packages) ; Emacs-v25 
      (package-install-selected-packages))
