Notes

• As the scripts need to install files and change permissions outside of user home directories they require sudo or superuser priviledges.
• Scripts inherit common functions from the imported templates.
• Menu options for application installation and removal are provided in each script.
• Where possible installers will use latest sources from original author/publisher sites or github release repos instead of using Flatpaks or Snap Store package installs. AppImages are used for some applications.
• File hashes (MD5, SHA1, SHA256) will be shown during installation for any downloaded packages or files for security comparison with the publisher.
• UPGRADING For applications which do not auto-update or update by running sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade, just re-run the install option/script to upgrade the package.
• Most of the Debian app installers fetch x64 sources, the script sources may need modification to run on other system architecture such as x86 (32-bit) or arm processors.

Troubleshooting

• If an install fails. Try running the remove app option then try install again. If it continues to fail raise an issue with details including hardware and OS version details.
• Some GNOME desktop icons may not appear until GNOME is shell is reloaded. Try logging out and back in.
