Unlike many other languages here, bash is a bit of a special snowflake. If you are on a Mac or other unix-y platform, you almost definitely already have bash. In fact, anything you type into the terminal is likely going through bash.
The downside to this is that there isn't much of a development ecosystem around bash like there is for other languages, and there are multiple versions of bash that can be frustratingly incompatible. Luckily we shouldn't hit those differences for these basic examples, and if you can get the tests to pass on your machine, we are doing great.
