Create a package installer script #3

Closed mr-canoehead closed 4 years ago

During system installation the user must install a number of different packages required by the system. If installation of one or more of these packages fails or is inadvertently skipped, it may cause the system to fail in one way or another. For example, if the bridge-utils package is not installed, the bandwidth monitoring bridge won't be configured and traffic won't flow between the router and ISP modem.

A package installer script would help prevent this issue.

For example, a bash script could have a list of the required packages, check if each one is installed using dpkg -s <packagename>, install the package if needed, and then verify that it is installed.
