Beef Up

EXTREME CAUTION ADVISED: Beef Up is an inherently dangerous program. Use of this program may result in serious injury and even death. By reading this webpage and by downloading and using this program, you willingly accept the serious risks involved. You accept as your own responsiblity any harm that comes about as a result of using this program. If you do not accept these terms, click here.

Open up a terminal, that a boy.

First you wanna download the source code for Beef Up (just one little source file):

wget http://virjacode.com/projects/beefup/beefup.cpp

Next you wanna have a quick look through the source code to make sure I haven't hidden a backdoor in it, I'll give you a minute. . .

OK, next you wanna compile the source code to produce an executable:

g++ beefup.cpp -o beefup

The exectuable is no use on its own though, you need a config file which specifies all the goodies, where to download them and how to install them. So download the config file:

wget http://virjacode.com/projects/beefup/beefup.conf

Now you can run the Beef Up program:

./beefup

When the program has finished execution, it will have created a script file called "get_goodies" in the current directory. To actually download and install all the goodies you want, you need to run this script:

sudo ./get_goodies

Of course, you can edit the script however you like before running it (that's why I made the program produce a script instead of just doing everything automatically).

Here it is in a nutshell:

wget http://virjacode.com/projects/beefup/beefup.cpp
g++ beefup.cpp -o beefup
wget http://virjacode.com/projects/beefup/beefup.conf
./beefup
sudo ./get_goodies
