#!bin/bash

sudo apt-get update		# Update package lists

# C++ Packages
sudo apt install clang -y	# C\C++ compiler
sudo apt install g++ -y	# C\C++ compiler
				# Two different compilers can give you 
				# different error messages. Try compiling with
				# both to get more information when your build
				# is broken.
sudo apt install valgrind -y	# A memory error detector
sudo apt install make -y	# Build system for MakeFiles
sudo apt install cmake -y	# MakeFile generator

# Misc. Programing Packages
sudo apt install git -y	# Git Version Control
sudo apt install net-tools -y	# Contains ifconfig (like ipconfig in windows)
sudo apt install nodejs -y	# JavaScript Runtime – good to have

# Uncomment this line if you want to install the SSH client
# Note: you will have to configure this yourself. It does take a while.
# sudo apt install openssh-client -y

# Uncomment this line if you want to install the SSH server.
# This is for the server, or the computer that will sit at home.
# Only one of these two SSH packages should be installed on one machine.
# Note: you will have to configure this yourself. It does take a while.
# sudo apt install openssh-server -y

# If the scripts a taking a very long time and you see numbers in you shell
# like 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334, try the following commands 
# to switch from using the ipv6 servers to the more plentiful ipv4 servers.
#
# sudo apt-get -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true update
# sudo apt -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true install <package_name> -y
#
# Replace package name with all the package names above (i.e. clang, g++).
# This might make installation go faster if the few ipv6 servers are bogged 
# down.


sudo apt-get dist-upgrade	# Update all packages and handle dependencies
# If the above is taking to long, try the following command to use the ipv4
# servers again.
# sudo apt -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true dist-upgrade

# Now your WSL should be completely up-to-date and ready to use.

Wow thanks a lot! Great tutorial man!
