By default lubuntu and ubuntu support for bash script, so basically we don't need to install anything, we just need to create the script and execute it.

For this tutorial we are going to create a hello world script, it's very simple program that anybody can make, alright let's get going.

#!/bin/bash

echo "hello world"
echo "this is my first script"

• exit leafpad and back to command line/console
