To execute this script from the terminal use this line:
bash <(curl -s https://gist.githubusercontent.com/seakintruth/95d49b6ea316c2b8a6e283e1ee1a3f3a/raw)

Create a custom launcher pointing to this script with https://askubuntu.com/a/141247/957393

Some feedback is that the script should also accept a version number as input, and provide a general failure on error.

Last update adds several functions to clean up the code for the menu system.

Thanks for the input, after reviewing https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/29620 I've incorporated this recommendation.
