How to Use Linux Commands for Ubuntu Bash Shell on Windows 10? A shell script is a program written in a shell programming language (e.g., bash, csh, ksh or sh) that allows users to issue a single command to execute any combination of commands, including those with options and/or arguments, together with redirection. Shell scripts are well suited for automating simple tasks and creating custom-made filters.
A command is an instruction given by a user telling a computer to do something, such a run a single program or a group of linked programs. Commands are generally issued by typing them in at the command line (i.e., the all-text display mode) and then pressing the ENTER key, which passes them to the shell.
Prerequisites
- Ubuntu Bash must be activated on your Windows 10
- Make sure that you have already executed Universal Important Commands

How to install tool via Install Command?
First of all, we need an example, so I will choose htop (Interactive process-manager), so we simple put htop command in bash, like we do in Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install htop
If you want to know the real meaning of above command then read below table.

As we put sudo command-line, so bash will ask for password. Type your password that you have set during installation of Bash on Ubuntu on Windows. The password will be stay invisible to don’t be freak out that nothing is coming up.
Now, to run the program, simple put program’s command-line. Such as:
htop
I am using htop just for example. Just your own <PROGRAME-NAME> instead of htop.
