Post.py

I wrote this script to ease the pain of setting up my operating system each time I format my drive and re-install my operating system.

Some of the tools I am installing you probably won’t need, remember this is a script I wrote to ease MY pain. Feel free to modify the script to fit your needs. I highly recommend leaving the security portion as I have automated the steps for installing the Bitmask client, a process that is difficult for new users.

You can copy and paste into a text file in your home folder and make it executable.

Open your the terminal and enter

 chmod +x ./post.py 

Then run it.

 ./post.py 

- Don’t forget to add bitmask to your start-up applications!
