This guide is for almost every Linux distribution.
Prerequisite is that you have the required build tools installed already.
If not, do the following step:
Debian and Ubuntu users way;
sudo apt-get install build-essential
The Fedora/Red Hat way:
sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Legacy Software Development"
First step is getting the source package
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.2.tar.gz
Next step is compiling and installing it;
tar xf bash-4.2.tar.gz
cd bash-4.2
./configure
make
sudo make install
sh
it’s not working :/ only first command. These not ->
./configure
make
sudo make install
sh
you don`t have automake etc installed?
i also can’t continue at the step compiling & install it too, please explain what it does what those commands! 😀
what error do you see?
Don’t it miss “cd bash-4.2” before “./configure” ?
You are right, I`ve updated the post
