linuxinstallhelper

This script package installs helpful tools on a fresh Linux install. Supported (currently) on Debian based distros, Arch, and Red Hat.

Using this Script

1. Clone this repository (if you have already installed Git) by running the command git clone https://github.com/benny01000010/linuxinstallhelper If you have not already installed Git on your machine, clone the repo on another computer and transfer the files over with a USB or otherwise.
2. Make the filename that matches your distro executable (if it isn't already). For example, if you are running Debian, make debian.sh executable on your new installation.
3. Execute the file as root or using sudo.
4. Follow the prompts to complete your installation.

NOTE that to install all the packages at once append -y to your command when executing the .sh file. If you do not append -y to your command, you will be prompted before each package installs to either accept or decline the installation. The installer will also check your distrobution to make sure you have executed the correct file.

By default, the log output for each "apt install" function is redirected to /dev/null and won't show in the terminal. To change this, append --logs of -l to your command when you execute the script.
