echo I cowsay > ~/.bash4all_install

Advanced install

cat > ~/.bash4all_install << EOF
# manal installation because not in repository
[ "\$BASED" = BSD ] && I py36-pip && sudo pip install asciinema
[ "\$BASED" = MAGEIA ]  && I python3-pip && pip3 install asciinema
I asciinema # try install from repository
