Linux Install Development Applications Script

Summary: The purpose of this page is to show the contents of a script that will install programs on a computer system that uses the apt-get package management system. This should apply to any Debian GNU/linux based system, including Ubuntu Linux. These are programs that might be useful to someone developing websites on their desktop computer. A greater variety of programs are compared on the Linux programs for common tasks page. The plain-text file of the script below is linked at the bottom of the page.
