+which -a bash # Check where bash is installed
+bash --version # You need a version at least as recent as 4.0
+sudo vim /etc/shells # Add in this file : /usr/local/bin/bash
+chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash # To set the brew-installed bash as default bash
 ```
 
+In a new shell, type `bash --version` to assert your changes took effect and

+```sh
 brew services run postgresql
 brew services run redis
