Pre-requisites

First, assert that you are using an enviromnent under Debian 13. Then, as some tools are required for some elements I recommend you do separate install of those.

System preparation

To get ready to make your tooling installation folders you can do the following commands.

You can also make your own system, but most tutoriels here will suppose you have made the following and that you are using a bash based terminal. (Unix or Windows with WSL2)

How to update your tooling will be added in the installation tutorial of the tools.

Set-up tooling folder
cd ~

mkdir Tooling
mkdir ToolingBins

echo 'export PATH=~/ToolingBins:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

Now every tool that you install can be installed in Tooling, and you can add any executable or script you may need over multiple environment in ToolingBins
