Windows doesn't show BASH option

Fantastic terminal so far! However, on Windows 8 I go to Settings > Terminal > Shell and I only see CMD and Powershell. No BASH.

Hi Andrew, could you check if Bash on Windows is fully installed, i.e. whether typing in bash in the default command prompt takes you directly to Bash?

Ah, I see. No, it isn't recognizing it as a command. I don't believe it is installed. I figured it had something like Git Bash, which is installed on my computer.

No, it's literally the "Bash on Windows", by Microsoft :)
