install.sh

When you use this command, it attempts to install the specified .deb file on your system. You need to have administrator privileges to execute this operation. That's why after this command the system will ask you to enter your password.

<file name>: This is a command-line argument specifying the .deb file you want to install. You should replace <file name> with the actual path and name of the .deb file you want to install.

Note

Commands starting with sudo require entering a password because sudo (short for "superuser do") allows users to execute commands as an administrator or superuser. This enhances security by preventing unintended or unauthorized changes to the system without entering the password of a user with the appropriate privileges. We'll delve deeper into the role of administrators and related matters in the next section.

fix-dependencies.sh

The command sudo apt install -f is used to resolve dependency issues that may occur during the installation of software.
