    Install BASH on your Computer

    To learn it, you'll need to bring your computer and have BASH installed:

    1. If you run Linux on your computer, you are all set.
    2. If you have a mac with OSX, you have something very similar to BASH already installed. This is sufficient for the course.
    3. If you have Windows, you will need to install BASH. You have thtee options:
      1. The recommended option is to install the "Windows Subsustem for Linux" WSL as indicted here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/ubuntu/9nblggh4msv6
      2. Alternatively, you may install a virtual Linux on your computer using Virtualbox as explained here: https://itsfoss.com/install-linux-in-virtualbox/
      3. You switch from Windows to Linux!
