Scenario:
In the current version, if any singular package to be installed is missing or can't be found, the entire installation (including all other packages) will fail. This is because if apt-get is given a list of packages and one can't be installed, it assumes the entire command is invalid and shuts down.
Fix:
Instead of passing apt-get a list of packages to be installed, instead use a for loop to iterate over a list, installing each package by itself individually. This is much more robust, and if any individual install fails it has no effect on any other package installs. I've used this technique in my own install scripts to great success: https://github.com/mkrupczak3/gettools
Note:
Due to my IDE settings a bunch of whitespace has been mangled. My first change is on line 302, and any further changes are on any lines that have "opcion 2 == "0"" on them.
@LionSec Really like this tool, thanks!
