Last week we heard the news of the arrival of the Ubuntu terminal to Windows 10 and today we can say that it is already a reality. During these days a new build of Windows 10 has been released, the prelude to Redstone. Is build is named as 14316 and already incorporates in his strange to the Ubuntu Bash, known as the Linux terminal.
Esta Bash is not enabled by defaultIf we want to use it, we have to enable the programmer mode that Microsoft has created. For that we go to Update and Security–> Developers–> Enable or disable Windows features and in the list that appears, we activate «Linux Subsystem for Windows (Beta)«.
Ubuntu bash will appear after activating developer mode
Once all of this is activated, not only we can use bash scripts in Windows but we can also run the terminal by typing «Bash»In the Start Menu, just as we do with screen Two.
Although we will not be able to run Linux or Ubuntu programs, The truth is that the Bash console will allow us to use well-known commands such as grep, ls or sed and even to be able to work with powerful technologies such as Ruby, Git or Python. But unfortunately we will not be able to use it as server technology yet, among other things due to its beta status and the problems and bugs that the new Windows application still has, problems that are being solved but still persist in the bash.
It will be a matter of time before all the problems and wishes of many developers are resolved, something that will make this integration popular and reason to change operating system or at least so that many pirate users consider it a good option to pay for the license that Windows 10 costs. Personally, I think it will be like that, but I'm also realistic and I don't think the integration will be ready for the month of July What do you think?
