Bad substitution

Another likely cause of trouble is that bash is not the default shell on your system. (This is mostly a problem for Unix users; GNU systems almost uniformly use bash as the default.) Do

ls -l /bin/sh
to find your system's default shell. If this is not /bin/bash (or something equivalent), you have a bit more work to do. First do

which bash
to find the path to bash, then modify the top line of each of the shell scripts, replacing #!/bin/sh with the path to bash on your system.
