Post-Install Script

I decided to make a bash script that I can run after I install Debian based Linux distribution. Currently, I have been doing Zorin OS. Here's the script, use at your own risk:

Prerequisites

• Flatpak
• Debian based distribution (normal person explanation, advanced explanation)
• An internet connection (duh)

How to run. . .

1. Save contents to a .txt file or download the script
2. Rename to "post-install-script.sh"
3. Run with "sudo sh post-install-script.sh"

#!/bin/bash

set -e

# Check for dependencies
if ! command -v jq >/dev/null; then
  echo "Error: 'jq' is required. Install it with: sudo apt install jq"
  exit 1
fi

# Set temporary directory
TEMP_DIR="/tmp"

# Repository info
REPO="anyproto/anytype-ts"
API_URL="https://api.github.com/repos/$REPO/releases"

echo "Finding most recent stable Anytype release..."

# Fetch releases and filter out alpha/beta/rc/draft/prerelease
STABLE_RELEASE=$(curl -s "$API_URL" | jq -r '
  [.[] 
    | select(.prerelease == false and .draft == false)
    | select(.tag_name | test("alpha|beta|rc") | not)
  ][0]
')

if [ -z "$STABLE_RELEASE" ] || [ "$STABLE_RELEASE" == "null" ]; then
  echo "Error: No stable release found"
  exit 1
fi

# Extract tag name and asset URL
STABLE_TAG=$(echo "$STABLE_RELEASE" | jq -r '.tag_name')
DEB_URL=$(echo "$STABLE_RELEASE" | jq -r '.assets[] | select(.name | test("amd64\\.deb$")) | .browser_download_url')

if [ -z "$DEB_URL" ]; then
  echo "Error: Could not find AMD64 DEB package in release $STABLE_TAG"
  echo "Available assets:"
  echo "$STABLE_RELEASE" | jq -r '.assets[].browser_download_url'
  exit 1
fi

FILENAME=$(basename "$DEB_URL")
echo "Downloading $FILENAME from tag $STABLE_TAG..."

wget -q --show-progress -P "$TEMP_DIR" "$DEB_URL"

echo "Installing Anytype..."
sudo dpkg -i "$TEMP_DIR/$FILENAME" || sudo apt-get install -f -y

echo "Cleaning up..."
rm -f "$TEMP_DIR/$FILENAME"

echo "Anytype (stable release $STABLE_TAG) installed successfully!"

AI Disclaimer: A significant amount of this script was generated using Claude AI and ChatGPT. It shows itself particularly in the more complex sections that pull files from Github. However, I kept the use of AI to a minimum so as to maximize learning.
