BASH | General commands When running bash scripts, you can include other commands on the same line by using these at the end of each "line" command. bash: A; B    # Run A and then B, regardless of success of A A && B  # Run B if and only if A succeeded A || B  # Run B if and only if A failed A &     # Run A in background. Example: apt install vim -y A && B apt update vim -y Running a bash script file .sh: sh scriptfilename.sh If you get a "Permission denied" error,  either run  "sudo" or you may need to make the script executable by running  chmod +x scriptname.sh
