Linux Shells

The Linux Command Line is the primary way to interact with your ChromeOS Linux environment; this is known as a shell. By default, the Linux environment on ChomeOS uses the bash shell, as this is one of the most widely used shells on many popular Linux distributions. It is however possible to install and use other shells.
