# NOBLE NUMBAT

## AIM

* Showing how to install the `OS` and how to install  some apps

## OS INSTALLATION

- Prerequisites : `flash drive`, `laptop`

* First you need to download the `.iso` file of the `distro` you want to install

* Next you erase the flash drive

* Go to `startup disc creator` select the flash drive and the `.iso` file

* Then burn the `.iso` file to the `drive` 

* Power off your `PC` then boot it with the `drive` inserted

* Press the `esc` while booting to ascess the `BIOS`

* Select the `drive` then boot

* Choose whether you want to perform a full installation or dualboot

## APP INSTALLATION

* The app you need will be `chrome`, `VS-code`, `LAMPP`, maybe `spotify`

### CHROME

* Download the `.deb` file from [Google](https://www.google.com/chrome/)

* Then run `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo dpkg -i filename.deb` .

### VS-CODE

* Download the `.deb` file from [vscode](https://code.visualstudio.com/download)

* Then run `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo dpkg -i filename.deb` .

### SPOTIFY

* ee go far, and it changes regularly

* So just read their [Documentation](https://www.spotify.com/ng/download/linux/)

### LAMPP

* First download the `lampp` installer (`.run` file) from [Apache Friends](https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/)

* Then run `chmod +X filename.run && sudo ./filename.run && sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start`

## CUSTOM COMMANDS

- You can add custom commands using 2 methods 

- `Alias` & `Executable files`

### ALIAS

* First run `cd && nano ~/.bashrc`

* In the `nano` editor navigate to other alias

* then add yours `alias xamppstart='sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start'` , `alias cl='clear'`

* recall that in `nano` editor `CTRL O` will save the changes and `CTRL X` to close the editor

* Finally run `source ~/.bashrc` to refresh the commands

* Check `.bashrc` for some of my custom commands

### EXECUTABLE FILES

* first run `cd && nano ~/custom`

* check `.custom` for an example

* then make the file executable by running `chmod +x ~/custom`

* then run `sudo mv ~/custom /usr/local/bin/custom` 

* To use your command just run `custom msg1`
