Step 4 - Use Ubuntu's Bash Shell on Windows 10

You'll now have a full command-line shell based on Ubuntu. Because they're the same binaries, you can use Ubuntu's apt-get command to install software from Ubuntu's repositories. To open the Bash Shell, just open your Start Menu and Search for "bash" or "Ubuntu." You'll see a "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows 10" application.

If you're experienced using a Bash Shell on Linux, Mac OS X, or other platforms, you'll be right at home. You don't need to use sudo, as you're given a root shell. The "root" user on UNIX platforms has full system access, like the "Administrator" user on Windows 10. Your Windows file system is located at /mnt/c in the Bash Shell environment.

Use the same Linux terminal commands you'd use to get around. If you're used to the standard Windows Command Prompt with its DOS commands, here are a few basic commands on both Bash and Windows.

• Change Directory - cd in Bash, cd or chdir in DOS
• List Contents of Directory - ls in Bash, dir in DOS
• Move or Rename a File - mv in Bash, move and rename in DOS

It's important to remember that, unlike Windows, the Bash shell and Linux-imitating environment are case-sensitive. In order words, File.txt with a capital letter is different from file.txt without a capital. #allaboutprogramming62
