Installation

Each script is versioned separately and is released into the public domain, so you can install only the ones you need. You can just copy-paste a script or several scripts from the GitHub UI or use any of the following commands.

for the script common/create_tarball:

via wget:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tocic/scripts/main/common/create_tarball

via curl:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tocic/scripts/main/common/create_tarball

for all the scripts in the category/directory common:
- via subversion:
```
git svn clone https://github.com/tocic/scripts/trunk/common
```
- via third-party services:
  - https://download-directory.github.io/?url=https://github.com/tocic/scripts/tree/main/common
  - https://minhaskamal.github.io/DownGit/#/home?url=https://github.com/tocic/scripts/tree/main/common
  Note
  These services download files as a ZIP archive. Use any utility like unzip to extract the files.

Alternatively, you can download all the scripts at once on the Releases page.

Tip

Since git allows storing regular files only with 755 or 644 permissions, all the scripts are stored with 755 permissions, so you don’t have to chmod +x manually. But you might consider changing the script’s permissions and/or UID/GID if, for example, you want to remove the ability to execute the script by all users of the system.

Additionally, all dependencies of the executable script must be installed. You can find them in the script file directly or via the script common/list_script_dependencies.

list_script_dependencies [--optional] SCRIPT_FILE_PATH

Note	Dependency package names are taken from the Arch Linux official repositories. You can search for the names here to find the equivalent for your package manager. Most likely, the files from `coreutils` and `util-linux` are already installed on your system.
