Hey everyone,

Every time I spin up a new server or fresh Linux machine I waste 2+ hours installing the same tools. So I built a bash script that handles everything in one go.

What it installs:

• Node.js v22 LTS (with npm + pnpm)
• Go 1.22
• Python 3.12 (with pip + venv)
• Docker CE + Docker Compose plugin
• PostgreSQL 16 (running as a service)
• Git + GitHub CLI

What else it does:

• Auto-detects Ubuntu/Debian vs RHEL/CentOS/Fedora and uses the right package manager
• Adds your user to the docker group automatically
• Installs 25+ shell aliases for git, docker, go, postgres out of the box
• Includes a verify.sh to confirm everything installed correctly
• Safe to re-run — skips already installed tools

One command:

bash

sudo bash setup.sh

GitHub link in the comments. Would love feedback from anyone who tries it — especially on RHEL/CentOS since that's harder to test locally.
