Troubleshooting

:::tip If you see an error that says, "conditional binary operator expected" you probably need to update to a newer version of bash.

brew install bash
grep -qxF "$(brew --prefix)/bin/bash" /etc/shells || sudo bash -c 'echo "$(brew --prefix)/bin/bash" >> /etc/shells'
chsh -s "$(brew --prefix)/bin/bash" $USER
