I am trying to create a program, let's call it abcd like http://linux.die.net/man/6/fortune that can simply be installed like $ sudo apt-get install abcd. Now for the specifics, my program simply is fetching data from and API and printing it.
The API is already built. I can write a script in any language viable to access the API, extract data and print it.
Now, I want my script to function as follows. Anyone who wishes to install it should do sudo apt-get install abcd. After this, the user only has to type in $ abcd in the shell and the output will appear. Also, it can accept 3-4 parameters like $ abcd -typeA which will print different data.
What is the process to create such a program and get it up and running?
I am new to linux. I really want this done. Thanks for help in advance.
