Linux-update-script

Easily update programs and operating system of Debain based operating systems.

Supported Operating Systems

Any Debian based distro.

How to

1. If you haven't already done so create a local bin directory:

   cd ~/

   mkdir bin

2. Add your bin directory to your path. Edit your .bashrc or .profile file (whichever you prefer, I prefer the .profile) to add in ~/bin to your path.

   This step may not be necessary on if you're using a fairly recent Ubuntu version as they include the ~/bin directory in your $PATH.

   You can check your .profile contains the following:

   # set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
   if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
   PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
   fi
   

   If not just add it in.

3. If required, reboot your computer or force bash to re-read ~/.profile:

   exec -l bash

4. Change directories to your private bin if you're not there already: cd ~/bin Clone my script from the repository: git clone https://github.com/sampablo22/Linux-update-script.git

5. Mark the file as executable: chmod +x update_Debian.sh

6. Make a symlink from the script to the bin folder:

   ln -s ~/bin/Linux-update-script/update_Debian.sh ~/bin

7. Now you can run the script from anywhere with: ./update_Debian.sh
