This is a script I use to quickly install recommended packages on my OEM installations of Ubuntu. It automatically adds the official or best PPAs for packages, when possible. See the -h command for help.

Before you use this yourself, I recommend you carefully review what packages will be installed. The -L option will list the packages and their sources.

Only intended to be used with Ubuntu 18.04 and later.

To download and use this script, run the following in your home folder.

wget https://github.com/CodeMouse92/quick_installer/raw/master/quick_installer.sh
chmod +x quick_installer.sh
./quick_installer.sh

To use, simply invoke with one or more options. See -h for the complete list of options.

./quick_installer.sh -h

For example, to install the recommended office and reference packages, run...

./quick_installer.sh -or

I strongly recommend deleting the script from your home folder when you're done using it.
