On my Pixelbook cURL was already installed but check to make sure first.
curl -V
You should see some output like this:
curl 7.52.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.52.1 ...If not you'll need to install it:
sudo apt-get install -y curl
Then from your home directory:
curl -sL https://git.io/fNbqF | bash -At this point Firefox should be installed and you can start using it from
the shelf or by typing firefox.
| #!/bin/bash | |
| # script that will install the latest firefox and create a shelf icon | |
| # Run: | |
| # curl -sL https://git.io/fNbqF | bash - | |
| if [ $(dpkg-query -W -f='${Status}' bzip2 2>/dev/null | grep -c "ok installed") -eq 0 ]; | |

| if [ $(dpkg-query -W -f='${Status}' libdbus-glib-1-2 2>/dev/null | grep -c "ok installed") -eq 0 ]; | |
