How To Package Executable Terminal Commands

Let's say I have a downloadable text file on my website that says

sudo apt-getupdate

How can I make it so that the user downloads it and it auto puts that code into terminal? What would I do for something that has many lines of code?

If you put this line:

#!/bin/bash

at the beginning of the text file, Ubuntu will know than is an executable file to be interpreted by bash. So your file would look something like this:

#!/bin/bash

sudo apt-get update

When the user double clicks the file, she/he will be asked if wants the executable to be run in a terminal.
