# macOS Bash v4 Upgrade Instructions
|
||
|
When using the `run_embark <cmd>` commands, you receive the error `ERROR: this script requires Bash version >= 4.0` on macOS, follow the steps below to upgrade bash to v4:
|
||
|
1. Install HomeBrew (if not already installed):
|
||
|
`ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"`
|
||
|
2. Update HomeBrew packet database and install bash:
|
||
|
`brew update && brew install bash`
|
||
|
3. Change your application to use the correct shell. For example, in Terminal, open Preferences, then change *Shells open with:* to `/usr/local/bin/bash`:

|
||
|
4. `bash --version` should show version 4+:
|
||
|
`$ bash --version`
|
||
|
`GNU bash, version 4.4.23(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin17.5.0)
