How do I change from CSH to bash?

2 Answers

  1. Make sure you’ve got bash installed.
  2. Learn the location of bash : which bash. or whereis bash. Below, I’ll assume the location is /bin/bash . a) If you have administrative rights, just run as root: usermod -s /bin/bash YOUR_USERNAME. (replacing YOUR_USERNAME with your user name). b) If you don’t have adm.

How do I switch to bash?

From System Preferences

Hold the Ctrl key, click your user account’s name in the left pane, and select “Advanced Options.” Click the “Login Shell” dropdown box and select “/bin/bash” to use Bash as your default shell or “/bin/zsh” to use Zsh as your default shell. Click “OK” to save your changes.
