graphenegoat installer script

A simple script to install about three dozen or so applications and system utilities on Debian based Linux.

This script also cleans up some common errors, disables IPv6 and some other small goodies that most folks will want on a fresh Linux install.

Copy and paste all of the text below and input into your bash script, name it anything you want:

#!/bin/bash
#
# Original script written: 07 OCTOBER 2023
# Written by GrapheneGoat: scripts@graphenegoat.com // https://graphenegoat.com/
#
# For Debian based systems using APT package manager (Debian, Pop!_OS, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc) (tested on Pop!_OS)
# Note: on Debian, you will first need to add the user to the sudoers file. To do so, you must switch to root, use the following commands:
#
# su –
# visudo
# add the following line below the root user permissions. Replace ‘user’ with your current username:
# user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
#
