Hi,

I would like to install a Perl script-based CIRCOS software for windows 10. But I could not use bash command for installation. I am getting an error when using the command "bash test.modules"

Command prompt:

'bash' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

powershell:

bash : The term 'bash' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

At line:1 char:1

  • bash .\test.modules
  •

    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (bash:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

How to solve this issue?

Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you.

With warm regards,

Raman. G

    Hi Dr.,

    I am Aster, an Independent Advisor and I'm here to help you with your problem.

    Seems like you have to install Bash first. Try instaling Git Windows here: https://git-scm.com/download/win

    Then you install Bash from there. You may refer to the steps in the link below on how to do it:

    https://www.stanleyulili.com/git/how-to-install...

    Then try running your script in the Git Bash terminal again with the bash command to see if it works.

    Let me know if it helps, thank you.

    Dear Aster,

    I successfully installed Git Windows. But still having an issue. Could you please look onto this.

    circos : The term 'circos' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

    At line:1 char:1

    • circos -conf circos.cnf
    •

        + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (circos:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

    Thank you.

    With regards,

    Raman. G
