我支持使用“命令-v”。例如：

md=$(command -v mkdirhier) ; alias md=${md:=mkdir}  # bash

emacs="$(command -v emacs) -nw" || emacs=nano
alias e=$emacs
[[ -z $(command -v jed) ]] && alias jed=$emacs

如果您可以：

which programname

...

type -P programname

对于感兴趣的人来说，如果您希望检测已安装的库，则前面的答案中的方法都不起作用。我想你要么要检查路径（可能是头文件之类的），要么就这样（如果你是基于Debian的发行版）：

dpkg --status libdb-dev | grep -q not-installed

if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    apt-get install libdb-dev
fi

从上面可以看到，查询中的“0”表示未安装包。这是“grep”的函数-“0”表示找到匹配项，“1”表示没有找到匹配项。

为了模拟Bash的-P cmd类型，我们可以使用POSIX兼容的env-i type cmd 1>/dev/null 2>&1。

man env
# "The option '-i' causes env to completely ignore the environment it inherits."
# In other words, there are no aliases or functions to be looked up by the type command.

ls() { echo 'Hello, world!'; }

ls
type ls
env -i type ls

cmd=ls
cmd=lsx
env -i type $cmd 1>/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "$cmd not found"; exit 1; }

which命令可能有用。男子谁

如果找到可执行文件，则返回0；如果找不到或不可执行，则返回1：

NAME

       which - locate a command

SYNOPSIS

       which [-a] filename ...

DESCRIPTION

       which returns the pathnames of the files which would
       be executed in the current environment, had its
       arguments been given as commands in a strictly
       POSIX-conformant shell. It does this by searching
       the PATH for executable files matching the names
       of the arguments.

OPTIONS

       -a     print all matching pathnames of each argument

EXIT STATUS

       0      if all specified commands are 
              found and executable

       1      if one or more specified commands is nonexistent
              or not executable

       2      if an invalid option is specified

这样做的好处是，它可以确定可执行文件在运行环境中是否可用-这节省了一些问题。。。

它可能更简单，只是：

#!/usr/bin/env bash                                                                
set -x                                                                             

# if local program 'foo' returns 1 (doesn't exist) then...                                                                               
if ! type -P foo; then                                                             
    echo 'crap, no foo'                                                            
else                                                                               
    echo 'sweet, we have foo!'                                                    
fi                                                                                 

将foo更改为vi以激发其他条件。
