LXS

Linux multi-tool — a Bash menu and CLI for installing common server apps and running system tools on Debian/Ubuntu.

Quick install

curl -fsSL https://git.hyko.cx/hykocx/lxs/raw/branch/main/lxs.sh | sudo bash -s -- setup

This downloads the repo tarball, installs every file to /usr/local/share/lxs/, and creates the symlink /usr/local/bin/lxs. After install, sub-scripts run from disk — no network calls per command.

Avoid sudo bash <(curl …) — process substitution opens /dev/fd/63 in your shell, which the root bash spawned by sudo cannot read (bash: /dev/fd/63: No such file or directory). Pipe through sudo bash -s -- instead.

Or run once without installing (no sudo needed for the entrypoint — sub-scripts auto-elevate when they need root):

curl -fsSL https://git.hyko.cx/hykocx/lxs/raw/branch/main/lxs.sh | bash

When a new version is published in this repo, the interactive menu shows a "Nouvelle version disponible" banner; run lxs update to pull all updated files.

Usage

lxs                       # Interactive menu (checks for updates, cached 24h)
lxs setup                 # First-time install of all files to /usr/local/share/lxs
lxs update                # Update all installed files to latest
lxs install <app>         # Install an application
lxs tool <name> [args]    # Run a system tool
lxs info                  # Show system info
lxs version               # Show version
lxs help                  # Show help

Requirements

Debian or Ubuntu (other distros may work but are not tested)
curl
Some sub-scripts require root; they will auto-elevate via sudo when run.
