The system’s default command-line interpreter is rc, which stands for “run commands.” It’s fantastic, and the Bourne shell, from which Bash and most of modern shells are derived, has far more complex syntax; rc’s handling of strings and special characters makes it less error-prone overall.
- Install the rc shell on your Unix-like computer.
- Copy the rc shell source code to a location where you can access it.
- Edit the rc shell source code to make it work with your distribution’s init system.
Steps to Install Rc Shell in Linux
Installing Rc Shell
git clone https://github.com/Plan9Tools/plan9tools.git git push origin plan9tools
./install-plan9
This will install the Plan 9 builder and all of the utilities.
The Plan 9 utilities can be found in the repository’s bin directory.
- Open the “.bash_profile” file in your home directory.
- Add the following line to the file: PATH="$HOME/.plan9port/bin:$PATH" ..
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin Step 6: Edit your ~/.bashrc file and add the following line to the bottom: export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin
Save the file rc.local and exit the rc shell.
Final Words
If you’re looking for an easy-to-use command interpreter designed specifically for the Plan 9 operating system, the rc shell is a good option. It’s currently part of plan9port, a collection of Linux-compatible Plan 9 software, and its syntax is easier to understand than the default UNIX shell. Additionally, it’s designed to be as easy to use as possible, so it’s a great choice for anyone who wants to learn how a shell works. ..
