packages

packages

This directory will install packages or tools that I use.

Description

Note: The file setup.sh in this directory will run first to install the necessary packages for other directories to run.

The setup.sh file will find text files *.txt to try to install packages with its file name.

First, it will extract the install command from the file name, which is between a pair of $*_ (optional) and an extension end with .txt (.txt is required). For example, with the file name $1_sudo apt-get install.txt, it will extract sudo apt-get install as the install command.

Then, it will read the file line by line and try to install each package with the extracted command. An empty line or line starting with # will be ignored.

File name pattern:

• The file name should be start with pattern $*_ (optional); * is any character, e.g. $1_, $a_, $ab_, etc. Only the FIRST pattern is removed from the file name. For example, $1_some command $1_$a_.txt, then the extracted command is some command $1_$a_, the first pattern $1_ is removed from the file name, but the pattern $1_$a_ in the file name is not removed.

• About file extension, it MUST end with .txt. For example, foo.txt, foo bar.deps.txt, etc. The extension will be cut off from the FIRST dot ., so with $1_some command.bar.txt, the command will be some command, and the .bar.txt extension is cut off.

Installation order:

• The order will base on the result of the find command. For example:

  $ find * -name "*.txt" -type f
  
  # The installation process will run in this order:
  $1_sudo apt-get install.deps.txt <-- Install first
  $2_sudo apt-get install.txt
  $3_npm i -g.txt
  $4_sudo snap install.txt
  $aa_cmd.txt
  $ab_cmd.txt
  $a_cmd.txt
  $az_cmd.txt
  $ba_cmd.txt
  $bb_cmd.txt
  $b_cmd.txt
  $z_cmd.txt <-- Install last
  

Finally, it will run script files:

• setup.sh will find all script files *.sh in the packages directory and run it.

• Each package setup file should be named as <package>.setup.sh, for example: nodejs.setup.sh or python.setup.sh.

Usage

Run setup.sh to install packages:

Warning: This will change the npm default directory to ~/.npm-global.

./setup.sh
