How to set bash interpreter path in IntelliJ

You must have a shell installed.

I have Git installed, so I use the path to the git shell.

Something like C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe.

I use also the --login -i flags for the "Interpreter options" field.


If you want to use the Windows CMD.exe you have to set:

  • Interpreter path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\CMD.exe (or wherever your cmd.exe is located)
  • Interpreter options: /C
  • Working directory: path/to/your/project

in the IntelliJ run config.

(Tested with IntelliJ 2017.3)
