Scripts helps working with linux specialy when you move from windows and get used to one file instalations
Scripts use apt-get inside. You type software name like when using apt-get install NAME
You can download more software using space as separator e.g.: > NAME1 NAME2 it will produce zip file like NAME1_NAME2_install.zip
offline_downloads.sh downloads needed *.deb files and compress them into one zip file (like setup.exe files in windows)
Script generate file e.g: NAME_install.zip. Where NAME is software name. Script adds _install suffix.
offline_installer.sh install ready *.zip files generated by offline_downloads.sh
When using offline_installer.sh you only use NAME before these suffix. e.g gimp_install.zip
Very simple scripts which do theirs job, but if you have ideas how to improve them please give me feedback.
Scripts don't show:
- progress
- reason why they can't install software (for example whe you have problem with packages dependency)
