Beef Up

Open up a terminal, that a boy.

First you wanna download the source code for Beef Up (just one little source file):

wget http://virjacode.com/projects/beefup/beefup.cpp

Next you wanna have a quick look through the source code to make sure I haven't hidden a backdoor in it, I'll give you a minute. . .

OK, next you wanna compile the source code to produce an executable:

g++ beefup.cpp -o beefup

The exectuable is no use on its own though, you need a config file which specifies all the goodies, where to download them and how to install them. So download the config file:

wget http://virjacode.com/projects/beefup/beefup.conf

Now you can run the Beef Up program:

./beefup

When the program has finished execution, it will have created a script file called "get_goodies" in the current directory. To actually download and install all the goodies you want, you need to run this script:

sudo ./get_goodies

Of course, you can edit the script however you like before running it (that's why I made the program produce a script instead of just doing everything automatically).

Here it is in a nutshell:

wget http://virjacode.com/projects/beefup/beefup.cpp
g++ beefup.cpp -o beefup
wget http://virjacode.com/projects/beefup/beefup.conf
./beefup
sudo ./get_goodies
