#Installing Cygwin* on Windows*

  1. Go to https://cygwin.com.

  2. In the pane on the left, click Install Cygwin.

  3. Download and run the executable file.

Important: Use the default installation settings. Otherwise, if you install all the packages, it takes up to several gigabytes of free space.

  1. Go to Windows* Control Panel and click System.

  2. Click Advanced system settings.

  3. On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.

  4. In the System variables box, double-click Path.

  5. In the Variable value field, add the full path to the Cygwin* installation directory (for example, C\cygwin64\bin) at the end of the line.

Note: Do not forget to add a semicolon (;) before the value to separate it from the other values.

Now you can use Linux*/Unix* commands in Windows* Command Prompt.
