This repository contains a checklist of software that I normally install on a fresh Linux Mint system. Please, keep in mind that the list is tailored for software development, and as such does not necessarily represent the set-up of a regular LM user.
In order to be able to install and/or get the latest version of the following software, add the repos mentioned below:
