For specific reasons, some may not wish to have autoconf in /usr/local and therefor, we are going to place the compiled binaries in a directory within our user's home folder. While it is perfectly acceptable to run it as is, we're going to make some changes to keep things a little bit cleaner. Now that we are in the main autoconf source directory, we need to invoke the configure script in order to set the appropriate parameters for compilation. sounds annoying? Well, there is a special name for this type of dependency tracking however, since expletives are not permitted, I'm just going to have to leave it at that.

$ tar xjf bash-5.0.tar.gz & cd bash-5.0Both of these commands will navigate to the respective directories that were extracted from each archive so, we're going to start with autoconf first, as it is a dependency for bash, and therefor, do not run the command for bash until we are done dealing with autoconf. While lumping them into a single command is definitely possible, I am going to keep them separated for the sake of consistency.

Use the following commands to download each archive. While you can download the archives from a web browser, you should become familiar with using the command line, as from this point onward, we'll be working in the terminal almost exclusively. As of bash 5.0.18, autoconf is also a requirement and bash will fail to build if it is not present so, we will need to download the latest version of autoconf as well.

This does not require the entire Xcode app and takes up much less space. I'm not sure when this issue will be resolved however, please keep in mind that bash 5.1 will likely be released very soon, as we have already seen 3 different release candidates. This does not obligate you to pay for a developer account instead, it serves as a launching point for getting started with development within the Apple ecosystem. You must sign in with your AppleID and accept the developer terms of service before you can access any of the provided resources.

As such, both methods detailed in this post will not require the installation of a third party package manager. In the case of MacPorts, it will build everything against its on dependencies often resulting in the duplication, or even triplication of common runtimes, libraries, etc.

One of the requirements I had when doing this myself was to have no dependence on brew, or MacPorts, as these leave a noticeable footprint. Fortunately, getting bash back is very easy. This will have many advantages, as the included version of bash in macOS is very old however, zsh is technically not fully POSIX compliant, and there exist a number of great scripts that simply do not work correctly on zsh.
