Initialise VM with all basic required packages used by developer

For virtualization we are using Proxmox Virtual Environment. You can VM create VM with any Operating system you may like. Here we are using ubuntu for regular development uses. So we have wrote script to install necessory packages & configure ubuntu to be used remotely.

Automated installations

Use install script to initialise your ubuntu VM. Just copy & paste below line in terminal. Then hit enter & sit relax untill script finished its work.

wget -qO init-vm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tycheventures/vm-automations/main/init-vm/install.sh && sudo chmod +x init-vm && sudo bash init-vm

Manually installation

You can go with manual approach, if you want to modify packages.

• Step 1: Download install.sh file. You many do changes to install.sh file.
• Step 2: Run shell file using terminal as sudo ./install.sh
