So, I am going to make a folder with the espeak tar.xz and the espeak-ng tar.gz files in it, and I can write a script to do the typing part. The two files are: espeak-ng_1.49.2+dfsg-8+deb10u1.debian.tar.xz and espeakup_0.80.orig.tar.gz So is there a command I can put in a script that will run the installer from the tar.gz files, or do I need to write in the tar -xv filename stuff, and then know the folder name to install from? Thanks for any help.
