Optional: Add /opt/mssql-tools18/bin/ to your PATH environment variable in a bash shell.

source ~/.bash_profile
```
To make sqlcmd or bcp accessible from the bash shell for interactive/non-login sessions, modify the PATH in the ~/.bashrc file with the following command:

echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/opt/mssql-tools18/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
```
