I wrote a little bash script that will install all the necessary packages for Ubuntu 16.04/18.04 to get phBot working. It is meant to bring a new VPS up to date and is not for anyone running Ubuntu on their desktop.
Just run this command on a new install:
wget -q https://cdn.projecthax.com/ubuntu && bash ubuntu
Script contents:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
echo 'In order for this script to run correctly, it must be run as root'
exit 1
fi
read -r -p "This script is intended to be run on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04/18.04 x64, do you wish to proceed? [y/N] " response
if [[ "$response" =~ ^([yY][eE][sS]|[yY])+$ ]]; then

If you have problems with small fonts, run winecfg and increase the DPI to 120.
