Technical requirements
In almost all the other chapters, we were working with a generic setup that simply required any Linux distribution, as long as it could run a Bash shell. In this chapter, we are going to change things a bit—by necessity, these scripts will have to run on Ubuntu or any other Debian-based distribution. We are going to mention the reasons for this in the following recipes when something has to be done differently in order to make it happen on any other Linux distribution. So, in order to run scripts in this chapter, you need the following:
- A VM with Linux installed—we are using Ubuntu 20.10, but any Debian-based distribution will work
- Understanding of all the things we did in the previous chapters since we are going to presume you understand how Bash scripting works
So, start your VM for us to start doing many useful things!
