    Centos 7 can only support 4.2 and not higher. The issue is that i want to install Bashtop
    aristocratos/bashtop

    which is a superior version imo than htop but requires 4.4.x
    now i can install bash from source but the question is will it cause any issues to centos 7 if i did?


    yum group install "Development Tools"
    wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-5.0.tar.gz
    tar -zxvf bash-5.0.tar.gz
    cd bash-5.0
    ./configure
    make
    make install

    I wouldn't update bash like that, you could break your system. I haven't tested this so who knows. If you know how to use Docker, you could create a Docker OS image and just install bashtop from within the Docker OS image in self-contained image container instead.
