Bash Shell on Windows 10

The only purpose of this entire series of Posts is to share Linux Learning (Basic Commands and Shell Scripting).

No history and absolutely No geography on how, when and where UNIX came from.

Practice is where we will begin our learning from…

And for practice we would need an Environment..

No wonder our first post would be on Environment preparation.

Now, we can have different Environment Setup.. Of course at homie..

1. It’s best if you have windows 10.. We will use the In-Built Bash Shell
2. We can have a Linux System installed on VM Box installed on windows.
3. OR we can have a dual Boot system With Windows and Linux Running ..Sorry installed on them..

Enabling bash Shell on Windows 10

1. To use Linux Shell on Windows 10 we must have Developer Mode turned on. To Turn on Windows Developer Mode  Go to: Settings -> Update and Security ->For Developers . Select the Radio Button Developer Mode

2. Go to : Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features.

 

 

3. Restart The System to Complete Windows setup

4. Once The Windows Setup is Complete Open Command Prompt with Admin Privilege.

5. Enter Command “bash” and hit Enter. This will download bash shell on from Windows Store and install it on Windows 10.

 

6. Once the installation is done Command Prompt will Prompt for User Name and Password. This user and password will be used for accessing bash from Windows.

7. Linux is now installed run/execute commands as you like.
