How to create a bash file?

I found following bash script. 

#!/bin/bash
for f in *.wav; do
  echo "Processing $f file..."
  afconvert -f caff -d LEI16@44100 -c 1 "$f" "${f/wav/caf}"
done

I have Mac and Windows.

But I don’t know where I have to put this and how I can run this script?

    As you have two different OS setup, I will split my answer in two parts.

    First: Windows

    Windows does not have a Bash interpreter, nor the afconvert program the code above is trying tu run. Your best bet will be to use Cygwin to install a Unix console on your Windows. Also I don’t know, where you could get afconvert from.

    OSX

    OSX does have a console and the afconvert software (at least my OSX does). You can simply drop the file in a folder and give it a name ending in .sh. Then you should be able to run it.
