My Post-Ubuntu-Installed Script

Once I have installed Ubuntu there are a number of actions consistently run on the system which has been pooled together into a script for ease of running.

I am putting it out here so anybody can use it, modify it as they may want and generally think about means of easing routine actions to make life easier.

Consolidated Code

This code belongs in a single shell script to be called and should run completely through (as sudo) without any interaction necessary.

#!/bin/sh

# add repositories


# install everything
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pithos gimp kpat chromium-browser docker

The idea here is to put together all of the coding into one shell script. I have called this script on my system ubuntu_post_install.sh. Once created I make the script executable

chmod +x ubuntu_post_install.sh 

Then to run it I have to run it with sudo

sudo ./ubuntu_post_install.sh 

Install Piece-by-piece

In case want to do part of it and not other, or to step through it to ensure it works, below is code snippit separated by the product(s) it is installing and the additional effort required.

Base installations

This includes just the applications that are in the default repositories without having to add PPAs, repositories or authentication keys.
