====== Install BASH shell on FreeBSD ======

Bash is an sh-compatible command language interpreter that executes commands read from the standard input or from a file. csh / tcsh (C shell with file name completion and command line editing) is the default shell under FreeBSD. However, you can easily install and use bash as shell.

==== Installation ====

  * Update the ports snapshot
<code>
portsnap fetch update
</code>
  * Install BASH
<code>
cd /usr/ports/shells/bash
make install clean
</code>

==== Configure FreeBSD to use BASH ====

  * To update existing users to use BASH, enter:
<code>
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash {username}
</code>
