If you are unable to use the sh command, please try the following solution:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Check if the ‘sh’ command exists: Input ‘which sh’ in the terminal to make sure the correct path for the ‘sh’ command is displayed. If no results are shown or an incorrect path is displayed, it may be due to improper installation of ‘sh’ or incorrect environment variable configuration.<\/li>\n
  2. Check the permissions of the sh command: Make sure you have enough permissions to execute the sh command. You can try running the sudo sh command as an administrator.<\/li>\n
