Below are the steps to install and setup Cygwin on Windows Download Cygwin. To make things easier to manage, let's create a folder on your Desktop and name it "Cygwin Setup".

I'm assuming that your Windows 10 machine is a bit machine. If you have a bit machine, please download and run setup-x Cygwin will need at least 2GB of disk space to download and an additional 4GB of disk space to install. If you don't have more than 2GB of free disk space on your C: drive, you need to create the "Cygwin Setup" folder somewhere else.

These days, a full 32 bit Cygwin distro is not feasible anymore, and will in all likelihood fail in random places due to an issue with the fork 2 system call.

Close Cygwin if it is running. Run Cygwin Setup. Click on "Next" until you reach the "Select Packages" screen. This will take a while, have a cup of tea.
