I used to use ubuntu bash on windows 10 and want to install it on windows 2012 R2. But I couldn't find how to install it. Doesn't it support windows 2012?

Ubuntu Bash requires Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) which requires Windows 10 Anniversary Update or later (build 1607+). It is not available on Windows Server 2012.

Microsoft has announced plans to bring WSL support to Windows Server 2016 later in the year 2017.

In the meanwhile, cygwin may or may not be an alternative for you.
