This is my Link Mint Cinnamon Build Script. I wrote this script strictly for me, for the sole purpose of rebuilding my system just in case. Just in case I receive a new computer, recycled computer or just because, can rebuild my system to my specifications via the use of this script. I've pulled ideas into this script via the following people including my finishbuild script...
Erik Dubois - https://github.com/erikdubois/Ultimate-Linux-Mint-19-Cinnamon
DasGeek - https://github.com/dasgeekchannel/AutoInstallBashScripts
Joe Collins (EzeeLinux) - https://github.com/EzeeLinux

This scipt is free to use and to modify and as I have been warned, you are being warned. You run this script at your own risk. I take no responsibility to an harm to you system or data. Read through the script and edit way you want or don't want installed. I have to admit although there are ton of applications being installed, I practically live in a browser and should be running a chromebook.
You can run any of these scripts by downloading the zip file from github. Go to the download folder and right-click to Extract here. Go inside the folder and right-click in a blank space to go to the terminal. Now your terminal is opened in this extracted folder.
Or you can use the terminal and the git command
sudo apt-get install -y git
git clone https://github.com/woodfolk/linux-mint-cinnamon-build
First update/upgrade your system with mintupdate icon at bottom right or by running the following commands:
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
The installation scripts used to install software will be installed via the terminal.

#What can you do if the script does not execute?
Since I sometimes forget to make the script executable, I include here what you can do to solve that.
A script can only run when it is marked as an executable.
ls -al
Above code will reveal if a script has an "x". X meaning executable. Google "chmod" and "execute" and you will find more info.
For now if this happens, you should apply this code in the terminal and add the file name.
chmod +x typeyourfilename
Then you can execute it by typing
./typeyourfilename
Or you can follow these steps
