Installing & Updating OS software

For some things on your system, we will be using Advanced Package Tool, referred to as apt, to install applications. The first thing we’ll want to do is make sure we're up to date, and then we'll get some basic packages installed

Open your terminal emulator, or if you're on Windows this will be your Ubuntu App. Type the following commands into the window:

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade -y

Now we'll install a few OS packages:

sudo apt install -y build-essential tree zsh

Installing oh-my-zsh

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

ChromeOS Linux

If you are using a ChromeOS Linux you will also need to install DNS Utilities

sudo apt install dnsutils
