08: Bash Basics

OSX Troubles

If you are using OSX (macOS) you may be forced to use a different shell called zsh. You should be able to use all of these commands with zsh, but if you want to use bash then you can force OSX to use bash. Type this command in Terminal:

chsh -s /bin/bash

Then log out of your computer completely and log back in. If it worked then you should be able to type:

echo $SHELL

That command should print out "/bin/bash" and you're done.
