Ubuntu Post Installation Script

in #technology • 7 years ago

Ubuntu is a very user-friendly operating system ever I have used. It has everything an average Linux user wants in his Desktop. However, it doesn’t comes with all necessary pre-installed stuffs for day to day usage. You might still have to install some additional important softwares in order to get a near perfect system. You could manually install packages one by one, but It’s bit time consuming task. Alternatively, you could use the following script called install.sh.

This script will install the following applications.

  1. Sublime Text 3
  2. LAMP Stack
  3. Build Essentials.
  4. Node.js
  5. Git
  6. Composer
  7. JDK 8
  8. Bleachbit
  9. Ubuntu Restricted Extras
  10. VLC Media Player
  11. Unity Tweak Tool
  12. Google Chrome
  13. Teamiewer
  14. Skype
  15. Paper GTK Theme
  16. Arch Theme
  17. Arc Icons
  18. Numix Icons.

For the sake of easy, I have included the script contents here. Create an empty file and copy/paste the following code in it and save it as install.sh.

#!/bin/bash

if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
 echo "This script must be run as root" 
 exit 1
else
 #Update and Upgrade
 echo "Updating and Upgrading"
 apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

sudo apt-get install dialog
 cmd=(dialog --separate-output --checklist "Please Select Software you want to install:" 22 76 16)
 options=(1 "Sublime Text 3" off # any option can be set to default to "on"
 2 "LAMP Stack" off
 3 "Build Essentials" off
 4 "Node.js" off
 5 "Git" off
 6 "Composer" off
 7 "JDK 8" off

 10 "VLC Media Player" off

 13 "Teamiewer" off
 14 "Skype" off
 15 "Paper GTK Theme" off
 16 "Arch Theme" off
 17 "Arc Icons" off
 18 "Numix Icons" off)

I have saved this file as ubuntu_installation.sh for easy reference. You can name it as per your liking. Then, make it as executable using command:

sudo chmod +x ubuntu_installation.sh

Finally, run this script to the software of your choice.

sudo ./ubuntu_installation.sh

This script will automatically update/upgrade your Ubuntu desktop before installing any software.

Once it updated your system, then it will display the list of essential you would like to have in your Ubuntu desktop. Just enter the number of your choice to install the corresponding applications and sit back. This script will download the selected applications along with all required dependencies in minutes.

Very simple, isn’t it? What are you waiting for go get this script and start installing the packages you want.

That’s all for now.

Cheers!
