Update:Just needed to drop the script onto text file naming it name.sh and made executable with chmod -x then run it on terminal... and done... but still tahoma doesn't look as good as it is on Windows though :(

Ha-Ha, that's one of the standard things you must know in Unix/linux world : people are so familiar with chmod-ing a script or "sh -x" the script, that they often forget to tell you that you have to do this when they write down the install instructions. :D
