Few days back Microsoft released a statement that they will be supporting the awesome Bash (Bourne Again Shell) on Windows 10. The statement reveals that users will get the feature in anniversary release but it has been rolled out for developer edition.
It is already stated that do not expect a virtual machine or any Ubuntu machine running along with Windows, it will get the Ubuntu bash command and will convert them into the equivalent windows call and execute them.
If you think you cant wait till you get the update you can get them by performing the following steps
1. Enroll in the "Windows Insider Program" and select the "Advanced windows update option" in the system settings.
2. Set the ambition to "fast ring".
3. Via settings turn on "Developer Mode" settings -> Update and Security -> For developers.
4. Check for new updates, install all of them and reboot the system.
5. Turn on Window feature, "windows subsystem for linux (Beta)".
6. Reboot the system again.
7. Go to start menu, type bash the command console will pop up upon hitting the icon.
It is to be noted that it is in Beta state and it may contain some bugs and so users can continue at their own risks. It also requires 64 bit architecture to enable this feature.
P.S: The post is to create awareness and not to be missued.
