A script to automate the installation of a desktop environment on FreeBSD-12 with a few select tweaks to make the terminal pretty and easy to use.
This is intended to be used on a fresh install of FreeBSD 11.2+. Tested on 11.2, 12.0, and 12.1-Beta3.
Prerequisites:
A computer or VM with an internet connection and a clean install of FreeBSD.
Instructions:
Install FreeBSD as usual. Once installed and rebooted, login as root run the following commands:
"fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RGreeneRI/kde5-FreeBSD12/master/kde5_inst.sh --no-verify-peer" to download.
"chmod +x kde5_inst.sh" to make executable.
"./kde5_inst.sh" to run the script.
The script optionally installs tools and drivers to accomodate it being installed as a VMware guest. You may have to install the proper video drivers if running it on a real computer.
