Debian 9 - Base Package Installation Script
After a fresh install of Debian 9 Mate, this is the first script I run to install all of the basic packages before running any manual customizations. It's here for the next time I re-install the OS.
I deliberately separated out the packages into commented chunks so that the script can be easily edited to your preferences. E.g you may use a different music player to rhythmbox. It also lets you know what the package is for which isn't always obvious from the name.
Then:
- Install Arc Icon Theme
- Install Sublime
- Install Later Firefox
- Install Seafile
- Increase max watch for inotify to resolve sound issue.
- Set up Compiz and Emerald
- Set Emerald maximize window on double-click
- Use the Typecatcher tool to download the Ubuntu and Roboto Mono fonts, and change the system fonts to Ubuntu Medium, and the Monospace font to Roboto Mono.
