Bash scripts have a lot less of these issues than scripting built in a build orchestration system.

They are more portable, more universal, fewer dependencies.

Whenever you start to install something just put the commands into a bash’s script as you go and run it at each step.

Want to break it apart? Break apart the script how you like and repeat.

Being able to hand someone a scene for Linux or MacOS is a great way to help others begin too.
