In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Advanced Shell Scripts (ASS) on Arch Linux. ASS is a collection of shell scripts that aims to simplify working with the command line in Linux.
Before starting with the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install Git, which is required for downloading the ASS repository from GitHub. To install Git, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S git
After Git is installed, we can now clone the ASS repository from GitHub. For this purpose, run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/tycrek/ass.git
This command will clone the repository to your current working directory.
After cloning the repository, navigate to the cloned directory using the following command:
cd ass
Now, install ASS using the following command:
sudo make install
This command will run the installation script and install ASS on your system.
After installation, you can verify if ASS is successfully installed by running the following command:
ass -h
This command should display the help menu of ASS, which confirms that the installation was successful.
In this tutorial, we have explained how to install ASS on Arch Linux using GitHub. You can now use ASS to make your command line tasks smoother and more efficient.
