How to install bash shell in Alpine Linux

To install the bash shell on Alpine Linux, you need to use the apk command to install the bash package. This package contains the bash executable and the necessary files for using bash on Alpine Linux. For example, to install bash, you would run the following command:

apk add bash

After installing the bash package, you can start using the bash shell by running the bash command. You can also set bash as your default shell by running the chsh command and specifying the path to the bash executable. For example, to set bash as your default shell, you would run the following command:

chsh -s /bin/bash

Once bash is set as your default shell, you will be using the bash shell whenever you open a new terminal window or run a shell script. This can provide additional features and capabilities compared to the default shell on Alpine Linux, which is ash.
