Versions # of bash between 4.2 and 5.1.7 might work. However, to be safe, we will require # bash version 5.1.8 or later. # # WHY 5.1.8 and not 4.2? This safely is done because macOS Homebrew bash we # often use is "version 5.2.26(1)-release" or later, and the RHEL Linux bash we # use often use is "version 5.1.8(1)-release" or later. These versions are what # we initially tested. We recommend you either upgrade bash or install a newer # version of bash and adjust your $PATH so that "/usr/bin/env bash" finds a bash # that is version 5.1.8 or later. # # NOTE: The macOS shipped, as of 2024 March 15, a version of bash is something like # bash "version 3.2.57(1)-release". That macOS shipped version of bash # will NOT work. For users of macOS we recommend you install Homebrew, # (see https://brew.sh), and then run "brew install bash" which will # typically install it into /opt/homebrew/bin/bash, and then arrange your $PATH # so that "/usr/bin/env bash" finds "/opt/homebrew/bin" (or whatever the # Homebrew bash is). # # NOTE: And while MacPorts might work, we noticed a number of subtle differences # with some of their ported tools to suggest you might be better off # with installing Homebrew (see https://brew.sh). No disrespect is intended # to the MacPorts team as they do a commendable job. Nevertheless we ran # into enough differences with MacPorts environments to suggest you # might find a better experience with this tool under Homebrew instead. # if [[ -z ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]} || ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]} -lt 5 || ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]} -eq 5 && ${BASH_VERSINFO[1]} -lt 1 || ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]} -eq 5 && ${BASH_VERSINFO[1]} -eq 1 && ${BASH_VERSINFO[2]} -lt 8 ]]; then echo "$0: ERROR: bash version needs to be >= 5.1.8: $BASH_VERSION" 1>&2 echo "$0: Warning: bash version >= 4.2 might work but 5.1.8 was the minimum we tested" 1>&2 echo "$0: Notice: For macOS users: install Homebrew (see https://brew.sh), then run" \ ""brew install bash" and then modify your \$PATH so that \"#!/usr/bin/env bash\"" \ "finds the Homebrew installed (usually /opt/homebrew/bin/bash) version of bash" 1>&2 exit 4 fi # setup bash file matching # # We must declare arrays with -ag or -Ag, and we need loops to "export" modified variables. # This requires a bash with a version 4.2 or later.
