Howto install Bash shell under FreeBSD
Question: How to install Bash shell under FreeBSD ?![]()
Answer:
The bash shell is not installed as a standart shell package under freeBSD system, to install it
Under root type the following commands:
# cd /usr/ports/shells/bash
# make install clean
That takes some time to install some dependencies, after this you can switch to bash shell with the command
#bash
To add this shell permanently to the user, type the following:
# chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash pirat9
chsh: user information updated
Check if the shell user is updated
#cat /etc/passwd | grep pirat9
pirat9:*:1001:1001:xxxx xxx:/home/pirat9:/usr/local/bin/bash
or directly edit /etc/password file and replace the shell with the bash shell directory under /usr/local/bin/bash
pirat9:*:1001:1001:xxxx xxx:/home/pirat9:/bin/csh
save and exit and reboot
