bash sh - command not found

I solved adding execute permissions:

sudo chmod +x file.sh


Remove ; from the end of your script lines.

This doesn't happen in my bash, so I'm not sure what exactly is wrong, but my guess is this:

; is a separator of commands. Since your last command ends in ;, your bash probably expects another command after. Since the script finishes, though, it reads an empty command, which it can't execute.


My guess is that you have unprintable control characters in the file, or it has \r\n (CRLF) line endings (dos/windows mode).

Try checking it with these commands:

$ hexdump -C build.sh 
00000000  23 21 2f 62 69 6e 2f 62  61 73 68 0a 63 64 20 7e  |#!/bin/bash.cd ~|

0000002d

$ file build.sh 
build.sh: Bourne-Again shell script, ASCII text executable, with CRLF line terminators

I Have resolved my error from this command.

sudo chmod +x build.sh
