auto_installation.sh is a bash script that automates installation of packages that are commonly needed after each new ubuntu re-installation. It is a simple script that you can use as it is, or edit it according to your favourite packages.
- Google-Chrome (Stable Version).
- Python3.6 (It is installed by default in recent ubuntu distros, but I like to make sure it is installed).
- Pycharm IDE (Community Version).
- R.
- Rstudio.
- Atom (Text-Editor).
Download the .zip file and extract it. Open the terminal and change directory to the extracted directory :
$ cd <path-to-directory>
Run the script with sudo :
$ sudo ./auto_installation.sh
- Automatic download of packages not included in ubuntu software repositories.
- Resume broken downloads due to network interruption.
- Automatically accepts installation requests (Y/n).
- Make sure you have strong and stable network access, as the script performs several downloads and updates.
- Old versions of ubuntu may encounter problems due to un-supported ubuntu package management.
The script has been tested on :
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Thanks for your interest to contribute! Here are some issues that need your help:
- Create checklist menu to choose which packages the user wants to be installed.
- Test the script on more distros, report bugs.
- Extend its functionality to support rpm packages.
