Since the author of the package \bashful claims:

The pack­age may use other Unix shells than bash, but does not work with­out mod­i­fi­ca­tion in a Win­dows en­vi­ron­ment. https://ctan.org/pkg/bashful

... I'm wondering what kind of modification this will be.

When I try to run the simple mwe (with shell-escape on a Windows-system using cmd or Power-Shell):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{bashful}
\begin{document}
\bash
ls
\END
\end{document}

... all I get is this error:

The highlighted part means: The command "bash" is either misspelled or could not be found. This indicates that there is a very essential problem with the setup, right?

Can anyone please shed some light? Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to TeX.SX! Windows does not use bash or anything shell-alike (in the unix sense). The easiest solution would be to install bash for windows. – TeXnician Jan 03 '19 at 07:58
  • Thank you Texnician. Installing bash does the trick. I also installed latex and the \bashful package within the bash and it now runs like a charm. – バニーダーク Jan 03 '19 at 15:14

    I'm voting to not close this question, as it still would be interesting if or how a native solution for a port of this package to Windows systems would look like – siracusa Jan 06 '19 at 05:06
  • I agree with siracusa. @バニーダーク Would you be willing to write up an answer how you solved it? – TeXnician Jan 06 '19 at 08:58

First I'd like to highlight that this would be a Windows-10-way only, since you have to activate some Windows-10-specific things. Windows 8 & 7 etc. users have to look for corresponding tutorials.

As @Texnician mentioned:

Windows does not use bash or anything shell-alike (in the unix sense).

1. Installing Bash for Windows

  • get access to the Windows settings: WIN + I

    • Update and Security
    • For Developers
    • activate Developer Mode

  • get access to your Control Panel

    • Programs
    • Turn Windows features on or off
    • activate Windows-subsystem for Linux

What we get is a ubuntu-bash by canonical.

WIN + type "bash" will open the bash terminal.

Alternatively - cmd: type "bash" - Powershell: type "bash"

2. Installing Latex (TeX Live)

sudo apt-get install texlive-base

2.1 Install \bashul package

Since I'm not a Linux user at all I just followed the suggestions that were made in this thread How do I install an individual package on a Linux system? There might be a better way to get \bashful. blush

sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra --no-install-recommends

3. Utilize \bashful
