How to Get Bash Terminal on Windows 10

Blog documentation: /setup-bash-windows-10-developers-ultimate-setup
Bash on Windows 10? I never thought that this day would happen. I wanted to make a tutorial on Bash on Windows 10 for quite a while. March 30, 2016, Microsoft announced the anniversary update, which would bring a ton of features to Windows 10.
It seems that August 2, 2016, Microsoft will release the anniversary update that will contain Bash. Before August 2, we will need to get the Insider build for 14316.

you have saved my life man!!

[@ArturoGarzaID]

Hey so my update was at the end of last month. It hasn't updated, if it updates automatically will I still be able to do enable Bash?

[@MicrowaveSam]

Yep. Just make sure to check 1:45 of the video where you can check the OS Build. Make sure that you have at least OS Build 14316. If you have a build number greater than 14316, you'll be able to follow all the steps 6:36 and onward.

[@ArturoGarzaID]

MicrowaveSam Would there be any problem if I decide to download it now?

[@MicrowaveSam]

There's no problems as far as I know! I'm using OS Build 14393 now. You might already have a build that works.

[@ArturoGarzaID]

MicrowaveSam Yeah mine is 14393.105. It says it was supposed to update at the end of the month? I don't think it did.

[@K0nc3pt10n]

Would you rather use this or cygwin?

[@MicrowaveSam]

I find myself still using Cygwin for a lot of things because I already have it installed, but for any Ubuntu package that wouldn't be readily available on Cygwin, I would use Bash. I'd probably use Bash if I didn't have Cygwin installed on my computer already.
