Install program on custom build agent azure devops

Question

I have downloaded a custom build agent for an Azure Devops release pipeline. I am trying to execute a sed statement within the release pipeline, but I am getting an error that the term sed is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Any advice on how I can get sed installed in a custom build agent would be appreciated.

Please have a look at the bash task: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/utility/… — Markus Meyer

This is a powershell error message. sed is a Unix command. You need to specify to run sed with bash/Unix. — dan

As per the error message, you are running sed in powershell task.

Please change to use Bash task as it's a unix based command.
Since you're using self-hosted agent, please make sure you have installed mingw(you can install git for windows(git bash) which include mingw) on windows machine, run sed --version locally, make sure it can run successfully. Follow link to add "C:\Program Files\Git\bin" to the Path of Environment Variables, then restart the agent service. You can invoke bash in pipeline now.

My local command:

My pipeline with bash task:
