Linux DevOps Setup

This guide assumes you are using a Debian-based distribution (like Ubuntu).

1. Update System

Always start by updating your package list.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

2. Install Git

sudo apt install git -y
git --version

3. Install VS Code

1. Download the .deb package from the VS Code website.
2. Install it using apt:

sudo apt install ./<file-name>.deb

Alternatively, use Snap:

sudo snap install code --classic

4. Install Docker

Install Docker Engine using the convenience script (for development environments):

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh

Add your user to the docker group to run without sudo:

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
# Log out and log back in for changes to take effect

5. Install Additional Tools

# Install curl and wget if missing
sudo apt install curl wget -y
