Just a few extra comments for those of us that are really new to command line:

  1. Go to your root folder
    $ cd ~

  2. Find the bin folder
    $ ls
    $ cd bin

  3. Create the .sh file (with whatever your favorite text editor is)
    $ nano cltools.sh

  4. Save the file and make it executable
    $ chmod +x cltools.sh

  5. Run the file
    $ sh ./cltools.sh

And it should work! Thank you @justinbellamy this worked perfectly. You saved me a bundle of time!

This should have a link for autoconf as

curl -OL http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-latest.tar.xz

Otherwise tar doesn't recognize the archive format and exits.
