I wanted to run a bash script with Python.

bash download.sh

I got

name 'bash' is not defined

I tried this code again:

import os
starting = os.popen('bash download.sh')
starting.read()

I received: ''

`bash` is not a standard command on Windows. – Barmar Jan 23 '23 at 21:12

You'll need WSL or something similar to get `bash` going. Python doesn't include it, it's a function of your shell/environment. – tadman Jan 23 '23 at 21:13
sorry but what is WSL? and how and i use it? – Hala Lili Jan 23 '23 at 21:26
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) lets developers install a Linux distribution and use Linux applications, utilities, and Bash command-line tools directly on Windows. Read more here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install – Doron Kedem-Goldman Jan 23 '23 at 22:37
