Windows Setup

Prime Agent requires a bash shell on Windows. Checked locations (in order):

  1. Custom path from ~/.prime/agent/settings.json
  2. Git Bash (C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe)
  3. bash.exe on PATH (Cygwin, MSYS2, WSL)

For most users, Git for Windows is sufficient.

Custom Shell Path

{
  "shellPath": "C:\\cygwin64\\bin\\bash.exe"
}
