这取决于您是否想知道它是否存在于$PATH变量中的某个目录中，或者您是否知道它的绝对位置

if which programname >/dev/null; then
    echo exists
else
    echo does not exist
fi

否则使用

if [ -x /path/to/programname ]; then
    echo exists
else
    echo does not exist
fi

在第一个示例中，重定向到/dev/null/会抑制哪个程序的输出。

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; }

我找不到一个可行的解决方案，但编辑了一下后，我想到了这个。这对我有用：

dpkg --get-selections | grep -q linux-headers-$(uname -r)

if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then
        apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
fi

迟到的回答，但这就是我最后做的。

我只是检查我执行的命令是否返回错误代码。如果返回0，则表示程序已安装。此外，您还可以使用它检查脚本的输出。以这个脚本为例。

foo.sh

#!/bin/bash
echo "hello world"
exit 1 # throw some error code

示例：

# outputs something bad... and exits
bash foo.sh $? -eq 0 || echo "something bad happened. not installed" ; exit 1

# does NOT outputs nothing nor exits because dotnet is installed on my machine
dotnet --version $? -eq 0 || echo "something bad happened. not installed" ; exit 1

基本上，所有这些都是检查命令运行的退出代码。即使命令退出代码不是0，这个问题上最被接受的答案也将返回true。

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。。。

我想回答同样的问题，但要在Makefile中运行。

install:
    @if [[ ! -x "$(shell command -v ghead)" ]]; then \
        echo 'ghead does not exist. Please install it.'; \
        exit -1; \
    fi
