The error message indicates that you have not installed bash  or it is not in your PATH   The top Google hit is http   win-bash sourceforge net  but you also need to understand that most Bash scripts expect a Unix-like environment  so just installing Bash is probably unlikely to allow you to run a script you found on the net  unless it was specifically designed for this particular usage scenario   The usual solution to that is https   www cygwin com  but there are many possible alternatives  depending on what exactly it is that you want to accomplish   If Windows is not central to your usage scenario  installing a free OS  perhaps virtualized  might be the simplest way forward   The second error message is due to the fact that Windows nominally accepts forward slash as a directory separator  but in this context  it is being interpreted as a switch separator   In other words  Windows parses your command line as app  build  build sh  or  to paraphrase with Unix option conventions  app --build --build sh    You could try app build build sh but it is unlikely to work  because of the circumstances outlined above

Personally I used this batch file  but it does require CygWin installed  64-bit as shown    Just associate the file type  SH with this batchfile  ExecSH BAT in my case  and you can double-click on the  SH and it runs    echo off setlocal  if not exist    dpn1 sh  echo Script    dpn1 sh  not found  amp  goto  eof  set  CYGBIN C  cygwin64 bin if not exist    CYGBIN   echo Couldn t find Cygwin at    CYGBIN    amp  goto  eof     Resolve     sh to  cygdrive based  nix path and store in   CYGSCRIPT  for  f  delims     A in     CYGBIN  cygpath exe    dpn1 sh    do set  CYGSCRIPT   A for  f  delims     A in     CYGBIN  cygpath exe   CD     do set  CYGPATH   A     Throw away temporary env vars and invoke script  passing any args that were passed to us endlocal  amp    CYGBIN  mintty exe -e  bin bash -l -c  cd   CYGPATH      CYGSCRIPT        Based on this original work
