Grep command not found in adb shell

After my phone is connected to the computer via adb, go to adb shell and then type grep to give me

 grep: not found

Is this a problem with installing my adb or with my phone? How do I get grep to work on my device?

PS: That's why I think this could be a problem with my phone (as opposed to installing adb)

The answer says:

The grep utility cannot be installed on your device.

However, I may have misunderstood this expression. How to make grep work?

grep command is not installed by default on your device. If you need to use the grep on your device, you can cross-compile busybox and then call grep under busybox .

However, if you are on Linux or Cygwin , you can execute the output of the command and use grep on the PC to get the desired result, for example

 $ adb shell ps |grep google app_5 279 71 200212 30928 ffffffff 00000000 S com.google.process.gapps app_66 481 71 122804 21632 ffffffff 00000000 S com.google.android.apps.maps app_66 32311 71 120200 20916 ffffffff 00000000 S com.google.android.apps.maps:NetworkLocationService
