How to run a .sh file that has hdiutil, sudo, and wget for Visual Studio Code(windows)?
To run a .sh file that contains commands such as hdiutil
, sudo
, and wget
on Visual Studio Code for Windows, you can use the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) feature to run a Linux environment within Windows.
Here's how you can run a .sh file on Visual Studio Code for Windows using WSL:
Install WSL on your Windows machine. You can follow the instructions on the official Microsoft website to install and set up WSL: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
Once you have installed WSL, open Visual Studio Code and install the "Remote - WSL" extension. This extension allows you to open a remote window to the Linux environment running within WSL.
Open a new WSL window by selecting "Remote-WSL: New Window" from the Command Palette in Visual Studio Code.
Navigate to the directory where the .sh file is located using the
cd
command.Run the .sh file using the
./filename.sh
command. If the file is not executable, you can make it executable by running the commandchmod +x filename.sh
.The commands in the .sh file should be executed in the Linux environment within WSL.
Note that when using WSL, the file paths and directory structure may differ from Windows. You may need to adjust the file paths in the .sh file accordingly.
Also note that some commands such as hdiutil
and sudo
may require elevated privileges. In this case, you can prefix the command with sudo
to run it with administrator privileges, or use the su
command to switch to the root user before executing the command.
