Setting up your Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Java Development

Posted on by Fatih Mehmet UCAR

It is always good to idea to automate setup to speed up your development. In case you need to setup your computer from scratch it can be very painful and a long process taking days if not weeks. Your laptop might get broken, stolen or you might just want a fresh installation.

The script I have is optimised for myself but can easily be modified for yourself as well.

It first downloads the setup files for below applications:

  • IntelliJ Idea Community Edition IDE
  • Android Studio IDE
  • Studio-3t (formerly called robomongo)
  • xmind
  • zoom
  • exodus crypto coin wallet

Below is the script to download files off internet;

#!/usr/bin/env bash

function downloadIfNotExists {
    if [ -f "$1" ]
    then
    #0 = true
        echo "Already Exists : $1"
        return 0
    else
    # 1 = false
        echo "Downloading : $1"
        wget -P /opt/setup/ -U 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0' "$2"
        return 1
    fi
}

#!/usr/bin/env bash

#include functions.sh for utils
. functions.sh --source-only

#idea intellij
downloadIfNotExists /opt/setup/ideaIC-2018.1.1.tar.gz https://download.jetbrains.com/idea/ideaIC-2018.1.1.tar.gz
#android studio
downloadIfNotExists /opt/setup/android-studio-ide-173.4697961-linux.zip https://dl.google.com/dl/android/studio/ide-zips/3.1.1.0/android-studio-ide-173.4697961-linux.zip

downloadIfNotExists /opt/setup/studio-3t-linux-x64.tar.gz https://download.studio3t.com/studio-3t/linux/2018.2.5/studio-3t-linux-x64.tar.gz
#xmind
downloadIfNotExists /opt/setup/xmind-8-update7-linux.zip https://www.xmind.net/xmind/downloads/xmind-8-update7-linux.zip
#zoom
downloadIfNotExists /opt/setup/zoom_amd64.deb https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_amd64.deb
#exodus
downloadIfNotExists /opt/setup/exodus-linux-x64-1.49.0.zip https://exodusbin.azureedge.net/releases/exodus-linux-x64-1.49.0.zip

  • ubuntu-restricted-extras
