# Welcome to Bash! Unlike many other languages here, bash is a bit of a special snowflake. If you are on a Mac or other unix-y platform, you almost definitely already have bash. In fact, anything you type into the terminal is likely going through bash. The downside to this is that there isn't much of a development ecosystem around bash like there is for other languages, and there are multiple verions of bash that can be frustratingly incompatible. Luckily we shouldn't hit those differences for these basic examples, and if you can get the tests to pass on your machine, we are doing great. ## Installation As I said above, if you are on a unix-like OS (Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, etc), you probably already have bash. ## Testing As there isn't much of a bash ecosystem, there also isn't really a de facto leader in the bash testing area. For these examples we are using [bats](https://github.com/sstephenson/bats). You should be able to install it from your favorite package manager, on OS X with homebrew this would look something like this: ``` $ brew install bats ==> Downloading https://github.com/sstephenson/bats/archive/v0.4.0.tar.gz ==> Downloading from https://codeload.github.com/sstephenson/bats/tar.gz/v0.4.0 ######################################################################## 100.0% ==> ./install.sh /opt/boxen/homebrew/Cellar/bats/0.4.0 🍺 /opt/boxen/homebrew/Cellar/bats/0.4.0: 10 files, 60K, built in 2 seconds ``` Run the tests with `bats whatever_test.sh`.
