Ubuntu / Debian Post Installation Script

Effortless way to setup your fresh Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian installs. Please read the FAQ & the Docs before trying out.

How to use this

Install your choice of Ubuntu/Debian/Mint or its derivative as you would

Step 1: Get the script

Without Git

Run this in Terminal

 wget -q https://ae.prasadt.com/get -O - | bash

URL redirects to file with last known good commit on GitHub. It is cached & proxies to GitHub at CDN level. If you are paranoid, use git. If you wish to use master branch pass --master or -m as an argument. Eg: wget -q https://ae.prasadt.com/get -O - | bash -s --master

With Git

If you already have git on your system, you can use,

git clone https://github.com/tprasadtp/ubuntu-post-install.git && cd ubuntu-post-install

If you already have cloned the repo, you can use git pull to get the latest changes.

This will use master branch which may not be as stable as versioned releases.

Step 2: Update the lists or your YAML configuration file

Update the list files or YAML file to suit your needs. Change PPAs, add or delete packages to list, tweak flags etc. Please see Configuration & Tasks.

Step 3: Run the script

Run the script as root.

To use default YAML configuration, which can be found here https://ae.prasadt.com/dl/config/default.yml.
```
  sudo ./after-effects --config-file ./config/default.yml
```
To use local list files in data
```
  sudo ./after-effects -L
```

If you are running this in a docker container, you probably are root and its possible that you might be missing sudo. So In that case just run it as ./after-effects. Be warned! You might be missing several dependencies of the script!!
