    You could generate a test.sh with bash script (we can call it download.sh):

    # 1. write script content to test.sh
cat <<EOT >> test.sh
#!/bin/bash

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt install curl -y

sudo apt install -y default-jdk
EOT

# 2. make it executable
chmod +x test.sh

    When you execute bash download.sh, it will generate a test.sh automatically.

    If it is crucial that it be a one-liner and vi is not a requirement:

    echo -e '#!/bin/bashnsudo apt-get updatensudo apt install curl -ynsudo apt install -y default-jdk' > test.sh && chmod +x test.sh && ./test.sh

    If vi is a requirement you could do something like:

    vim file.txt "+i#!/bin/bash" "+osudo apt-get update" "+o..." and so on

    in place of the echo, but this seems much less effective to me and I’m less familiar with using vi in this way.
