My ATO Talk Download and Resource List
Bash Code
You can download the Bash program and other files I used for my talk at ATO 2023 here. This is a tgz file so you will need to use the tar command to extract the files. This will create a directory named “Presentation” and place the files there. The demo.sh file is the Bash program which is the presentation.
You will need to install the following packages that are required for this program.
- asciiquarium
- banner
- boxes
- cowsay
- figlet
- lolcat
- neofetch
- sl
