A couple of bash scripts to automate the installation process of Player 3.0.2 and Stage 4.0.0 for Ubuntu. These scripts will automatically update bashrc with correct paths as well as downloading, compiling and installing Player and Stage from source. The script effectively automates the commands outlined in the following two guides:

This script should work with Ubuntu from 11.04+. I've tested it on a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit in a VM and it seems to work fine. I'm unsure if it will work with versions of Ubuntu below 11.04.
###Update The script has now been patched to fix a minor compliation bug with Ubuntu 12.10.
Before installing Player/Stage, ensure that all other versions of Player/Stage have been removed from the machine. If compiled from source this can be done by entering into the directory where Player or Stage was built and running:
$ sudo make uninstallAlso check that any old files relating to Player or Stage have been removed from both /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/lib64 in
case this mucks with the paths. Finally, make sure that any path varaibles relating to Player/Stage are removed from the bashrc.
First, either clone the git repo or download a tarball/zip file containing the files and extract them. Then cd into the
directory. Change the two scripts to have executable permissions using the following command:
$ chmod +x update-bashrc.sh player-stage-install.shNext, run update-bashrc.sh. This adds the path variables stored in path.txt to the bashrc. It's important to do this so that Player/Stage can find each other correctly.
$ ./update-bashrc.shFinally, run the player-stage-install.sh script to download, compile and install Player/Stage. The script should get all of the required dependancies if they are not already installed on the system. It will then create a folder called src in the home directory where Player/Stage will be downloaded, complied and installed to the system. Run it with the following.
$ ./player-stage-install.shIf all works as intended, Player/Stage should then be correctly setup for use with CS264's assignment files.
