Please use CODE tags (not QUOTE tags) when displaying sample input, output, and code segments.

Is this the Flyway database migration tool? Are you attempting to run it in an Ubuntu subsystem on Windows, or from a separate Linux machine? If you are using a separate machine you should download and install Flyway for Linux.

Hi Andrew,

thank you!
YEs, flyway is a database migration tool.

exactly this one

To start with, I know nothing about Windows 10 or the linux sub-system. But according to this how-to geek article you need the Creator's update or later to run Windows apps from bash, but you knew that already.

Have you tried cd'ing into the flyway directory and running it from there, as you did in your example using it from the command prompt? Remember that (1) bash is case-sensitive and (2) you will have to prefix the command with ./ as in

Code:

./flyway migrate

Code:

cd /mnt/c/Users/admin/Downloads/flyway-commandline-5.0.7-windows-x64/flyway-5.0.7

does not work? What is the error?
Please don't just say "xxx does not work". Instead you should paste into your posting the command you type and the response (in code tags, of course).

Thank you Andrew!

cd /mnt/c/Users/admin/Downloads/flyway-commandline-5.0.7-windows-x64/flyway-5.0.7

Working !

But when i am within this folder and trying to run flyway.cmd
using code:

./flyway migrate

there is an error:
line 62: java command not found

i think that still here is a problem with running flyway command line from bash...

Best,
Jacek
