</pre>

<aside>Since this is our first block of shell code, let's take a moment to point out the syntax we'll be using in this guide. All code is formatted <code>like this</code>. When there's a block of code, like above, we'll include both the output that appears on your terminal as well as the text you have typed into the terminal. We'll make a distinction between the text you type and the other text that appears in the terminal by formatting the text you type
<kbd>like this</kbd>. Text you should type can be easily selected by <kbd>clicking it</kbd>. Looking up at the code block above, you should now understand that the <code>$</code>-sign is not something you should type: it represents the prompt that will appear in your terminal when its shell is ready to receive a command. The actual prompt in your terminal may look different. At the prompt, you will enter the following text: <kbd>echo "$BASH_VERSION"</kbd>, followed by hitting the <kbd title="enter"></kbd> (enter/return) key to confirm the command. As

soon as you confirm the command, the bash shell will execute it and produce the output on the line below (or a similar version number).</aside>

<p>If the above command yields no output or results in an error message (assuming you didn't mis-type anything), it means your terminal probably isn't running the bash shell. You'll need to manually start the bash shell before you can try the command again. In most shells, starting bash is as simple as executing the <kbd>bash</kbd> command. If not, you'll need to turn to the documentation of your system, terminal or shell, or activate the power of the Internet to find out
