- Complete Walkthrough on How to Install Cygwin on Windows.
Instructions:
First step: Check the System type of your computer (32 bit or 64 bit).
Second step:
cygwin.com/inst...
Download the Cygwin corresponding to your system type.
Step 3: Install and set-up Cygwin with the packages that you choose.
I recommend the following packages:
gcc-core
make
openssh
ssl
vim
Step 4:
Wait until Cygwin finishes downloading and installing the packages.
Step 5:
Finish and add to environment variables of the computer's system properties.
For 64 bit, add C:\cygwin64\bin; to the end of the environment variables.
What is Cygwin?
The Cygwin tools are ports of the popular GNU development tools for Microsoft Windows. They run thanks to the Cygwin library which provides the POSIX system calls and environment these programs expect.
With these tools installed, it is possible to write Windows console or GUI applications that make use of significant parts of the POSIX API. As a result, it is possible to easily port many Unix programs without the need for extensive changes to the source code. This includes configuring and building most of the available GNU software (including the packages included with the Cygwin development tools themselves) as well as lots of BSD tools and packages (including OpenSSH). Even if the development tools are of little to no use to you, you may have interest in the many standard POSIX utilities provided with the package. They can be used from one of the provided Unix shells like bash, tcsh or zsh, as well as from the standard Windows command shell if you have to for some sad reason.

You know those times when you spend hours trying to find a solution, feel like you’re losing your mind, and then finally find that resource that explains it clearly and directly, and you feel like a ton of pressure is off your shoulders?
You’ve really helped me with this guide; thank you!
Works like charm!
I installed cygwin mirror files from a different source than yours. Read reviews that some cygwin mirror sites missing files, although it is claimed that mirror sites are regularly checked for complete files. Just fyi for those who may be searching or failing in setting up. Also a word of caution when multi downloading.
Thank you very much indeed!
Still Works in 2020! Cygwin looks a little different now, but still works!
the installation of packages isnt the same anymore since they removed the arrows u click to install. What do i do?

I like your video. A big fan of yours. Keep them coming. The other video I watched was the github setup. You have my "Likes" for sure.

could any one help me ... i just installed cygwin without knowing about the packages it contains..then i came to know (gcc-core, gcc-g++, make, swig) these packages need to be install to run OCR application... how to check these packages are installed or not..?
You run the Cygwin setup program again and select more packages to install. This is probably normal, since there are so many Cygwin packages that you probably do not know all the packages you will need at first. Also you can install updates to the packages later.

I'm having a very strange issue when trying to run C programs. I wrote a very simple hello world C application that works fine on my desktop computer, but when I try to run it with the Cygwin installation on my laptop it doesn't work. It compiles the program fine, but when I try to run a.exe, the executable just disappears completely. I have no idea why it's doing this.
Excellent. thanks
thanx,great video!! :)

Can you tell us how to make -f Makefile?
I have the Makefile for mpi-ikl-simplemkl-1.0. When I type make -f Makefile, it doesn't work.
starting at 11:13, it becomes pretty different on windows 10. could you guide me on how to complete the process from 11:13 on windows 10?
You've probably already figured it out, but once you click "Edit", just click "Add" and copy and paste the directory path. Don't bother with the semi-colons.
Thanks a lot!
my mirror sites dont accure, and when i type any of those you have, they don't work. What should i do?
hello I followed your instruction but I still could not use 'ls', how can I find out the problem I have made during installation and can I fix the problem without uninstall the software?
try this

Thanks.
thank u..nice video.
Let's say if you are using Windows 10 and you installed cygwin and are about to set up the variable code, but your PC has more than 1 Path environment variable. What would you do?
Would you have to copy and paste the code onto all variables?
Thanks!
1 [main] mkdir (10656) C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\mkdir.exe: *** fatal error - cygheap base mismatch detected - 0x1802FD410/0x180301410.
This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL.
Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility
and delete all but the most recent version. The most recent version *should*
reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have
installed the cygwin distribution. Rebooting is also suggested if you
are unable to find another cygwin DLL.
Makefile:91: recipe for target 'obj' failed
make: *** [obj] Error 127
I get this error while using make. Can you help me out with this. Thanks in advance.
Thanks a lot
MicrowaveSam Did everything you did, but my "C:\cygwin\home" folder is empty. I was looking for my .bashrc file to add a line to it. Any thoughts ?
The file could be hidden: www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/show-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-vista/
OR the file was never created, so you can create the file in the folder.
MicrowaveSam Its not hidden, I unhid all files. I also reinstalled cygwin 4 times and C:\cygwin\home is still empty. How do I generate all the files(including .bashrc) for C:\cygwin\home. Can you point me in the right direction?
Cygwin is supposed to generate some of these files for you, but If it's not inside the folder, then you can create files like ~/.bashrc manually by:
touch .bashrc
Thanks

I am also facing the same problem
which package have I to install for to execute "sudo" command?
It's a good question! :-)
If you have node.js and npm installed, than you can invoke the following command: npm install -g windosu
After installing "sudo", you can use it as you would normally use it in Linux. For example: sudo net session
Wait i keep getting errors when installing stuff
nice
I can read your product id in your system window
