I use this script after setting up my terminal on a fresh installation. It installs all the basics things that I usually need on my Ubuntu. It removes all the useless softwares as well (as amazon plugins).

NOTE: You may find some scripts that you know. This is probably because it is part of my scripts that you can find here or from any other thing that is setup in setup_terminal.sh.
