## System Requirements
| Requirement | Specification |
|-------------|---------------|
| **OS** | Debian 12 (Bookworm), Debian 13 (Trixie) |
| **Privileges** | Script must be run with `sudo` privileges by a normal user |

## Installation Instructions
### Step 1: Clone or Download the Repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/stornic56/debianito-post-install
cd debianito
chmod +x post-install.sh modules/*.sh # Make all scripts executable if needed
```
If you downloaded manually, ensure all `.sh` files are in their respective directories.
### Step 2: Run the Script with Sudo Privileges
> **Do not run this script as root.** Use a normal user account and authorize via `sudo`.
```bash
./post-install.sh
```
The script will perform initial checks, detect your system information (CPU, RAM, GPU), then present an interactive menu.

## Usage
After running the script:
1. **Select Option:** Use arrow keys or type `1-7`.
2. **Confirm Actions:** For installation steps, you'll see a confirmation prompt (`whiptail`).
3. **Review System Info:** The header displays your detected Debian version and hardware summary before each action.
4. **Repeat as Needed:** Return to the main menu at any time or exit when done.
