Install Bash on Windows 10
Yay bash! Still have not found a good powershell replacement for grep… sure there is ‘select-string’ but meh…
Anyways how to install bash on Windows 10:
- Make sure you have the right version of Windows 10 and the Anniversary Update installed!
- Start -> Settings -> Update & Security -> For Developers -> Activate Developer Mode
- Go with Programs and Features (appwiz.cpl) and click on ‘Turn Windows features on or off’
- You should now see “Windows Subsystem for Linux (Beta)“
- Install it and run bash
-
Now the most frustrating part, you have to sign in to the windows store and accept the TOS <pre class="lang:default decode:true"># Alternatively, this should work too! lxrun /install /y</pre>
- Once finished you should have “Bash on Ubuntu on Windows”
