App installation scripts for Ubuntu
Here are some neato scripts for easily installing apps on Ubuntu. The apps will be installed into a reasonably-named folder in /opt
, and a well-formed .desktop file will be added to /usr/share/applications
so that the app appears in the OS application launcher.
Android Studio
- Download the latest version of Android Studio as a .tar.gz file from developer.android.com/studio.
- Download the script android-studio.sh.
- Run the script with
bash android-studio.sh android-studio-ide-linux.tar.gz
(replaceandroid-studio-ide-linux.tar.gz
with the name of your Android Studio .tar.gz file).
After it installs Android Studio, this particular script also fixes a permissions issue with running Android emulators.
Ghidra
- Download the latest version of Ghidra as a .zip file from ghidra-sre.org.
- Download the script ghidra.sh.
- Run the script with
bash ghidra.sh ghidra_PUBLIC.zip
(replaceghidra_PUBLIC.zip
with the name of your Ghidra .zip file).
