BSD often uses the classic Bourne Shell (`/bin/sh`) [^1] or `tsch` [^2] by default. To install Bash on FreeBSD, run the following in a terminal [^3] ```shell pkg update pkg install bash ``` Once installation is complete, try this command to ensure Bash is installed: ```shell bash --version ``` Now, you can launch an interactive Bash shell by simply running `bash` in the terminal. If you would like to switch your **default** terminal shell to always use Bash: ```shell chsh -s `which bash` $USER ``` [^1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourne_shell [^2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tcsh [^3]: You're running BSD. I'm assuming you know how to open a terminal. If not, I advise searching the internet or follow instructions similar to [[Linux#Terminal]]
