For full details please read the\n[xPack GNU Bash](https://xpack.github.io/bash/) pages.\n\n### Easy install\n\nThe easiest way to install GNU Bash is using the **binary xPack**, available as\n[`@xpack-dev-tools/bash`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@xpack-dev-tools/bash)\nfrom the [`npmjs.com`](https://www.npmjs.com) registry.\n\n#### Prerequisites\n\nA recent [xpm](https://xpack.github.io/xpm/),\nwhich is a portable [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) command line application\nthat complements [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com)\nwith several extra features specific to\n**C/C++ projects**.\n\nIt is recommended to install/update to the latest version with:\n\n```sh\nnpm install --location=global xpm@latest\n```\n\nFor details please follow the instructions in the\n[xPack install](https://xpack.github.io/install/) page.\n\n#### Install\n\nWith the `xpm` tool available, installing\nthe latest version of the package and adding it as\na development dependency for a project is quite easy:\n\n```sh\ncd my-project\nxpm init # Add a package.json if not already present\n\nxpm install @xpack-dev-tools/bash@latest --verbose\n\nls -l xpacks/.bin\n```\n\nThis command will:\n\n- install the latest available version,\ninto the central xPacks store, if not already there\n- add symbolic links to the central store\n(or `.cmd` forwarders on Windows) into\nthe local `xpacks/.bin` folder.\n\nThe central xPacks store is a platform dependent\nlocation in the home folder;\ncheck the output of the `xpm` command for the actual\nfolder used on your platform.\nThis location is configurable via the environment variable\n`XPACKS_STORE_FOLDER`; for more details please check the\n[xpm folders](https://xpack.github.io/xpm/folders/) page.\n\nIt is also possible to install GNU Bash globally, in the user home folder:\n\n```sh\nxpm install --global @xpack-dev-tools/bash@latest --verbose\n```\n\nAfter install, the package should create a structure like this (macOS files;\nonly the first two depth levels are shown):\n\n```console\n$ tree -L 2 /Users/ilg/Library/xPacks/\\@xpack-dev-tools/bash/5.2.21-1.1/.content/\n/Users/ilg/Library/xPacks/\\@xpack-dev-tools/bash/5.2.21-1.1/.content/\n├── README.md\n├── bin\n│   ├── bash\n├── distro-info\n│   ├── CHANGELOG.md\n│   ├── licenses\n│   ├── patches\n│   └── scripts\n├── doc\n│   └── bash-3.27\n├── libexec\n│   └── libncurses.6.dylib\n└── share\n    ├── aclocal\n    ├── bash-completion\n    ├── bash-3.27\n    ├── emacs\n    └── vim\n\n15 directories, 7 files\n```\n\nNo other files are installed in any system folders or other locations.\n\n### Uninstall\n\nThe binaries are distributed as portable archives; thus they do not need\nto run a setup and do not require an uninstall; simply removing the\nfolder is enough.\n\nTo remove the links created by xpm in the current project:\n\n```sh\ncd my-project\n\nxpm uninstall @xpack-dev-tools/bash\n```\n\nTo completely remove the package from the central xPack store:\n\n```sh\nxpm uninstall --global @xpack-dev-tools/bash\n```\n\n### Manual install\n\nFor all platforms, the **xPack GNU Bash**\nbinaries are released as portable\narchives that can be installed in any location.\n\nThe archives can be downloaded from the\nGitHub [Releases](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/bash-xpack/releases/)\npage.\n\nFor more details please read the\n[Install](https://xpack.github.io/bash/install/) page.\n\n### Versioning\n\nThe version strings used by the GNU Bash project are three number strings\nlike `5.2.21`; to this string the xPack distribution adds a four number,\nbut since semver allows only three numbers, all additional ones can\nbe added only as pre-release strings, separated by a dash,\nlike `5.2.21-1`. When published as a npm package, the version gets\na fifth number, like `5.2.21-1.1`.\n\nSince adherence of third party packages to semver is not guaranteed,\nit is recommended to use semver expressions like `^5.2.21` and `~5.2.21`\nwith caution, and prefer exact matches, like `5.2.21-1.1`.\n\n## Maintainer info\n\nFor maintainer info, please see the\n[README-MAINTAINER](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/bash-xpack/blob/xpack/README-MAINTAINER.md).\n\n## Support\n\nThe quick advice for getting support is to use the GitHub\n[Discussions](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/bash-xpack/discussions/).\n\nFor more details please read the\n[Support](https://xpack.github.io/bash/support/) page.\n\n## License\n\nUnless otherwise stated, the content is released under the terms of the\n[MIT License](https://opensource.org/licenses/mit/),\nwith all rights reserved to\n[Liviu Ionescu](https://github.com/ilg-ul).\n\nThe binary distributions include several open-source components; the\ncorresponding licenses are available in the installed\n`distro-info/licenses` folder.\n\n## Download analytics\n\n- GitHub [`xpack-dev-tools/bash-xpack`](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/bash-xpack/) repo\n  - latest xPack release\n[![Github All Releases](https://img.shields.io/github/downloads/xpack-dev-tools/bash-xpack/latest/total.svg)](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/bash-xpack/releases/)\n  - all xPack releases [![Github All Releases](https://img.shields.io/github/downloads/xpack-dev-tools/bash-xpack/total.svg)](https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/bash-xpack/releases/)\n  - [individual file counters](https://somsubhra.github.io/github-release-stats/?username=xpack-dev-tools\u0026repository=bash-xpack) (grouped per release)\n- npmjs.com [`@xpack-dev-tools/bash`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@xpack-dev-tools/bash/) xPack\n  - latest release, per month\n[![npm (scoped)](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@xpack-dev-tools/bash.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@xpack-dev-tools/bash/)\n[![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/@xpack-dev-tools/bash.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@xpack-dev-tools/bash/)\n  - all releases [![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/dt/@xpack-dev-tools/bash.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@xpack-dev-tools/bash/)\n\nCredit to [Shields IO](https://shields.io) for the badges and to\n[Somsubhra/github-release-stats](https://github.com/Somsubhra/github-release-stats)\nfor the individual file counters.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fxpack-dev-tools%2Fbash-xpack","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fxpack-dev-tools%2Fbash-xpack","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fxpack-dev-tools%2Fbash-xpack/lists"}
