ubugod
After installing Ubuntu, the next task to perform is to start the installation of programs with which you will work on your newly installed system, which is a somewhat tedious task for users who have been using Ubuntu for some time.
Browsing on the net I found a tool which seemed perfect according to my needs, well it is a post-installation script which is responsible for installing several popular applications.
ubugod is that script I'm talking about written by Paulvilla In order to carry out the installation of several popular applications, just by executing the script, it will take care of installing them, thus freeing the user from spending several minutes behind the computer.
Although the author of the script gives reference that they are applications for the post-installation of Ubuntu Gnome, the reality is that it can be used on any Ubuntu-based distribution. Since the applications that the script installs for the most part are independent of the Gnome functions within Ubuntu, the only dependents are the themes and some extensions for it.
The applications that Ubugod installs are the following:
- Arc Theme.
- Papirus and Paper icons.
- Chromium.
- vlc.
- Gimp.
- Brackets
- SublimeText 3.
- Caliber eBook.
- air crack.
- Airscript.
- reopen.
- Steam.
- PlayOnLinux.
The script is in charge of adding the official repositories of each application, run the installation commands, move to the required directories and verify the installation. In addition, it also performs the task of updating the system.
How to download and run Ubugod on Ubuntu?
To make use of this script we will only have to clone the repository from git and run it as root. The commands are as follows:
git clone https://github.com/paulvilla/ubugod.git cd ubugod/ sudo sh install.sh
It is necessary to be connected to the internet, since for obvious reasons you need to update the system as well as add several repositories, so if you do not have a connection, this script will not do you any good.
A plus that I can recommend is that if you are not a Gnome user you can remove some lines from the script so that you do not install the Gnome themes and extensions.
You need to open the script in a text editor and delete the following lines:
cd /root/ubugod/modulos/extensions/ cp * /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ -R cd /root/ubugod/modulos/theme/ cp Ubugod /usr/share/themes/ -R cd /root/ubugod/modulos/images/ cp * /usr/share/backgrounds/ -R rm /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/gnome-backgrounds.xml cp /root/ubugod/modulos/files/gnome-backgrounds.xml /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/ -R chmod 755 /usr/share/themes/* -R chmod 755 /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/* -R chmod 755 /usr/share/backgrounds/* -R chmod 644 /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/gnome-backgrounds.xml -R
At the end of editing the script, it will only be necessary to save the changes made and that's it.
From a personal point of view, the script is simple but effective, since, as I mentioned, it installs several popular programs, saving you several minutes and adding unnecessary repositories and steps between application and application installation.
