Is it possible to debug bash lines in turn?

Question

I will like something like debugging Microsoft Visual Studio by default in bash, with current variable values, etc.

Is there any tool or way to do this? set -x and set -v are good, but not perfect.

If you are on a Mac (like me), you may need to install the GNU Bash version.

I did this using "MacPorts" http://www.macports.org/

Once you have MacPorts ...

install bash port

Then follow the instructions on

./configure (in unpacked bashdb directory)
to do
sudo make install

Then add the folder where bashdb can be found in your PATH

See bashdb .

If it is installed on your system, see man bashdb .
