The mint version used for the desktops in the lap are Cinnamon 20.3 “Una” Edge. The Edge version is required because of how new the hardware we are using is. It has the most update to date drivers for us. Any newer version of Mint will also work with this script.
If the box you are working on is brand new, secure boot will be enabled in the bios. Boot into the bios and disable it.
To boot into mint from the USB press the F12 key on boot to boot into the drive selections and select the USB disk with Mint on it.
Start the install of Mint from the USB by selecting the first Linux Mint option on the boot screen, not compatibility mode.
Next install mulitmedia codecs but do not enable secure boot under it.
Choose the Erase Disk and install Linux Mint option for install type
Then set the correct time zone, Los Angeles PST .

You should be done configuring the install settings and Mint will know install itself.
There are two ways you can install the software on to Mint.
The USB approach is simply plugging the USB stick into the box, dragging install.sh on to the desktop then running it with the command: sudo bash install.sh
The Git approach requires the user to first install git on the machine: sudo apt install git After installing git simply navigate to where you want to clone the repo. It can be cloned with the command: git clone https://github.com/DominicOrsi/Linux-Mint-Setup.git Then cd into the directory to make it the PWD. Now you can finally run the script with sudo bash install.sh
This shell file is the main file you need to run in order to install all the needed software on to the machine. It is run with the command sudo bash install The script must be run with root access in order to function properly. If run without root access it will display a warning message and exit out.
To test the connection to AD to make sure the computer is connected type in id <username>. With username being a Gonzaga account. It will take a minute to pull up the groups the account is in on AD. Another way I found to test the connection that worked was to do the ID command but as the computer is looking up the groups for the user, to sign out then try and login with a Gonzaga account.
