Installation

Before using the installation script, make sure you have the following dependencies installed:

• iptables: Manages the netfilter firewall rules for IPv4.
• netstat: Displays network connections, routing tables, interface statistics, masquerade connections, and multicast memberships.
• gnuplot: Generates system load graphs for the last 5, 10, and 15 minutes.

Ensure these dependencies are installed using your system's package manager. For example, on a Debian-based system, you can install them using the following commands:

sudo apt-get install curl neofetch iptables net-tools gnuplot

New method:

• Ensure you are in your $HOME folder by typing cd and pressing return
• Verify your location by then typing pwd and pressing return. It should show your current directory as /home/<your_username>
• Then proceed to run the following command.

bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tim0n3/lazy-bash/main/binfiles/setup.sh)

Old method

After ensuring that all dependencies are installed, you can use the provided installation script:

To install this customized .bashrc configuration, you can paste the following script in your terminal or run it from a file:

#!/bin/bash

function newbashrc() {
    # GitHub raw link to the file you want to append
    github_raw_link="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tim0n3/lazy-bash/main/bashrc"

    # Local path to the .bashrc file
    bashrc_path="$HOME/.bashrc"

    # Download the file from the GitHub raw link
    content=$(curl -sSL "$github_raw_link")

    # Check if the download was successful
    if [ -n "$content" ]; then
        # Append the contents to the .bashrc file
        echo -e "\n# Appended from $github_raw_link\n$content" >> "$bashrc_path"
        echo "Contents appended to $bashrc_path"
    else
        echo "Failed to download the file from $github_raw_link"
    fi
}

# Run the installation script
newbashrc

Feel free to customize the aliases, functions, and settings to suit your preferences and workflow.
