Oh man, I didn't know this. Just installed on my Windows7 virtual machine
and ran a test. Worked without issue. Here's a screenshot:

You can get bash on any version of Windows... just not using Microsoft's
version of it.

On my Windows 7 pro box, I use the so-called "Git Bash" (which is a
package that includes both git and an environment with the bash shell) for
Windows. Works brilliantly. And, lets face it, you're going to want git
in addition to bash :-)

In the past, I used Cygwin with it's bash shell (or even tcsh if you
prefer that as I do). I was doing that way back on Windows 98. It's
basically like having PASE on my PC, except it's more like Linux than AIX.

Don't feel like you have to run Windows 10 to have a good shell :-)

Hi Peter,

Make sure DNS on the IBM i is configured.

Also, if you're on Windows 10 then you can install Bash for a better shell

Scott,

Thanks for that.
I downloaded putty.exe to my PC => STRTCPSVR *SSHD => clicked on
putty.exe => entered host name => logged on as i5 user => npm install
request-debug
Then I see the spinning bar character but it hangs there.
When I close the session the putty.log shows exactly the same garbage
[0G\
lines as before.
However, QSYSOPR show the error sshd[33524]: fatal: Cannot bind any
address.

Peter,

I would recommend using a "real" Unix terminal rather than 5250. The way
I do that is by running the SSH daemon (STRTCPSVR *SSHD) and connecting
with the free Putty client from Windows.
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

There are many other ways, though.

The funny codes you see like [0G\ are escape sequences that direct the
terminal to do something. They will not show up correctly in a 5250
terminal.

In your example, it looks like it's trying to make a "spinning" bar
character by erasing and drawing characters in the same position of the
screen. Just a little "while you wait" type of animation that won't work
in 5250 and just looks confusing.

By using a real terminal you can, hopefully, see what the actual error
is.

I'm on little journey thru Node.js now that I know that IBM support it

I want to debug HTTP requests and have seen some useful examples using

request-debug but it does not seem to be installed.

I can successfully use the request library (which for some reason I have

to specify the full path) to get HTTP responses from a 3rd party server
but when I add the require for request-debug I get an error.

var request =
require('/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/Node/lib/node_modules/npm/node_module
s/request');
require('request-debug')(request);

Cannot find module 'request-debug'

I googled and found some advice from Aaron Bartell who has used npm
install from QSH or QP2TERM so I tried npm install require-debug

But it just repeated outputs lines of garbage like [0G\ [0G| [0G/ [0G-
[0G\ [0G| [0G/ [0G- [0G\ [0G| [0G/ [0G- [0G\

Same thing no matter what the name of the module to be installed is.

Peter
