How to create a GUI in shell script without any third party libs (like setup command)

share|improve this question
 
The question is too broad. What do you mean by "third party libs"? You're going to need a GUI lib to create a GUI. Whether it's included or not on your machine depends on too many factors. –  rahmu Aug 30 at 11:30
 
@rahmu I need to create script Using only basic default packages installed on any linux machine and show a GUI like setup command .. –  Ram Aug 30 at 11:52
 
There's no such thing as "basic default packages installed on any linux machine". You cannot make any assumption about what's on a user's machine beyond a linux kernel. We could help you more if you told us which systems you're targeting specifically. –  rahmu Aug 30 at 13:12
 
There's also no generic "setup command" that would give us any indication of what you are after. Perhaps you can provide a screenshot or even just a mockup showing what exactly you are trying to accomplish? –  Michael Kjörling Aug 30 at 13:52
