There is also a 'helper' script to install packages, e.g. in the main setup script
pkginstall veracrypt /usr/bin ppa:unit193/encryption:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
# Installs a package from the repos, a deb file or ppa
#
# syntax
# pkginstall package-name executable-folder deb/ppa/anything executable
#
# Parameters passed
#
# 1 = package to install
# 2 = path to search in /usr for command, normally /usr/bin or /usr/sbin
# 3 = three options
# deb so look in package folder for deb
# ppa to install
# anything else - dummy and ignore, only present if 4 parameters are passed
# 4 = the executable to search to test if already installed, used when
# the package name and the executable are different, e.g. read-edid is the
# package but the executable is get-edid
#
# exit = 0, the package was installed
# exit = 1, the package was not installed
# $# is the number of arguments passed
#setup text colour output for terminal
red=`tput setaf 1`
grn=`tput setaf 2`
yel=`tput setaf 3`
def=`tput sgr0` #default or reset
# check if correct number of parameters passed (min should be 2)
if [ ${#} -lt 2 ]; then #error incorrect number of params passed
echo "ERROR - wrong number of parameters passed for install"
exit 1
fi
#If 4 parameters, then #4 is the executable to search for
if [ ${#} -eq 4 ]; then #executable is different from package name
search=$4
else
search=$1
fi
#is it already installed
test=`whereis $search | grep $2/$search`
if [ ${#test} -eq 0 ]; then #package not installed
#is it a deb or ppa

exit 0
else

#it will install any deb files it finds
for i in $( ls $PWD/$1 ); do
#check entries to see if end with deb
valid=`echo "$i" | grep deb$`
if [ ${#valid} -gt 0 ]; then #found a match
echo $yel"installing" $1 "from" $i $def

It took me a couple of weeks to do on and off, and I did it because I could (helps being retired). It does mean that I can install mint and then run setup and a couple of hours later have it with everything installed I want and setup how I want. Does help having a separate home partition so I don't have to worry about all the config files.
If interested can post/email more, but would have to redact some of the script (pwds).
