title: First bash script not working
body: <p>I'm following a tutorial on shell scripts.  The script I'm writing is supposed to take a name as an argument and print out "hello" followed by the argument.  I tried copying the code directly from the tutorial and it still hasn't worked</p>
  
  <p>Here's the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$yourname=$1
  echo "Hello $yourname"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And heres the error message I got:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ bash hello.sh Mike   
  hello.sh: line 1: =Mike: command not found
  Hello 
  </code></pre>
