Ubuntu 20 Desktop Post-Installation Script

Repository: https://github.com/dongskyler/ubuntu-20-desktop-post-installation-script


Table of contents


Description

This Bash script installs and configures essential programs on a freshly installed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Desktop (Focal Fossa). See the full list of programs to be installed here.

Although Ubuntu is a well made Linux distro, things are really easy to break, when I do software development, when I frequently sudo commands and when I try out new things. Consequently, I often reinstall operating systems on my computers (especially my Linux). I am tired of reinstalling and reconfiguring programs by hand.

I wrote this script to automate the installations and configurations of essential programs — including Google Chrome, LaTex, Nginx, Node.js, PHP, Python 3, Ruby on Rails, Vim, VS Code, etc — so that I can immediately work on projects without spending time setting up the environment.

The code is under MIT license. You can modify the code to suit your needs.

Notes

VirtualBox is excluded from the installation script, due to complications of its interactive full-window dialogues of agree-to-terms and MOK key setups.

Please install it manually with the following command:

wget -qO- \
  http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox_2016.asc |
  sudo apt-key add -
printf "\
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian \
focal non-free contrib\n" |
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.org.list

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install -y virtualbox-6.1

You may want to install the VirtualBox Extension Pack as well:

sudo apt-get install -y virtualbox-ext-pack
