I want to upgrade the built-ub bash 3.2 shell on my macOS Catalina (10.15.6) to
bash 5.0.
I tried to do this by building from scratch, using the methods given at

I have always been too cautious to change the default shell on MacOS to
anything other than one that is officially provided, especially for the
root account, even if those shell versions are as old as the hills.
For scripts and launchd process simply put the #!/path/to/bash5 at the
top and th
To get the MacPorts bash 5.0 the default shell, I now tried:
- edit /private/etc/shells so as to add /opt/local/bin/bash
- in System Preferences > Users & Groups, I opened Advanced Options for
my (adminstrator’s) account and changed the entry for Login shell to
/opt/local/bin/ba

After that… use the `chsh' (*ch*ange *sh*ell) command:
chsh -s /opt/local/bin/bash
It should ask you for your pwd. If not,
I’m not sure what went awry from those steps, what does the following print for
the “Shell” line? You’ll be asked for your password.

You also shouldn’t need to reboot for these changes to take effect. Just
opening a new Terminal window or tab should be enough.

Years ago I did shell surgery on a PowerMac running Tiger. What I did
then, simply, was to replace the shell executable by the new version,
keeping the old one around with a .bak extension or something like that.
Needless to say, this was done only after verifying the new one worked,
and the v
I think I found a way to fix this:

To continue using bash on 10.15 and ignore the zsh deprecation:
chsh -s /opt/local/bin/bash
And, if using /bin/bash rather than MacPorts bash, stick this in your
~/.profile (or ~/.bash_profile):
# don't use zsh default on macOS
