Firefox sync server on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian: Update. One step install

This is my one step install for weave-minimal.  Originally for Raspbian, it seams to work on kubuntu as well.

In my previous post I documented a way to get a Firefox sync server running on a Raspberry Pi.  After some re-working of things I started that system over and discovered that I'd made a few mistakes in my documentation.  Rather then make the same mistakes again, I re-documented in the a form that guarantees, that all the steps are tested and working.  Here's my bash install script that I used to re-install the weave-minimal server on my clean copy of Raspbian .

After installing, on the Pi,

 I went to Tools/Sync and entered the following:


(Incidently, the server is the ip address of the my Pi.  I use dhcp address reservation on to assign it the same address every time.)
