# Hello World Bash Let's build your first script. Create `shinobi.sh` and add the essential shebang, followed by your `Hello World` message: ```bash touch shinobi.sh ``` Now, open `shinobi.sh` and add this content: ```bash #!/usr/bin/env bash echo "Hello World!" ``` Save and close the file. Next, make your script executable: ```bash chmod +x shinobi.sh ``` Execute your script directly: ```bash ./shinobi.sh ``` You'll see "Hello World!" printed. Alternatively, you can run the script by explicitly calling the `bash` interpreter: ```bash bash shinobi.sh ``` For quick tests, `echo` works directly in your terminal: ```bash echo "Hello Shinobi!" ``` Scripts become powerful when combining multiple commands for automated tasks. This is your first step.
