A useful post-installation script for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Hello everyone

I installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS not long ago.

Before the installation I decided to write a script that would speed up the process of installing codecs, commonly used programs (VLC Media Player, GIMP, Inkscape, Audacious, BleachBit, Skype, Steam, Chrome and more) and doing the basic config.

Itappears to be a useful tool so I decided to share it on GitHub with some Idea and a README file (in English and in Polish).

Im more or less new to being active on this forum (however I did post a few years ago) so I decided that posting something useful will be a nice touch

Usage of the scripts via the terminal (with download):

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/M-Klekowicki/Post-Installation-Script-for-Ubuntu-16.04-LTS-ENG-PL/master/English/1_spi_INTEL_AMD_ENG.sh


sudo bash 1_spi_INTEL_AMD_ENG.sh

or (if you are an NVIDIA user):

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/M-Klekowicki/Post-Installation-Script-for-Ubuntu-16.04-LTS-ENG-PL/master/English/1_spi_NVIDIA_ENG.sh


sudo bash 1_spi_NVIDIA_ENG.sh

The script for cleaning the system after installing all the packages (also makes some useful tweaks):

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/M-Klekowicki/Post-Installation-Script-for-Ubuntu-16.04-LTS-ENG-PL/master/English/2_spi_Con_Sp.sh


bash 2_spi_Con_Sp.sh

Details and the README file with a detailed description of what exactly thescript is doing (I strongly advice to read it before using):

The scripts themselves are also full of Idea that can help with understanding the code if someone is completely new to bash or the command line as a whole.

Nvidia users will need to additionally install the correct driver version for their GPU (allegedly the newest stable version: sudo apt-get install nvidia-361)
