An Introduction to Cygwin George B. Moody Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology Revised 7 November 2013 This page has been translated into. What is Cygwin? Is free software that provides a Unix-like environment and software tool set to users of any modern x86 32-bit and 64-bit versions of MS-Windows (XP with SP3/Server 20xx/Vista/7/8) and (using older versions of Cygwin) some obsolete versions (95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP without SP3) as well. Cygwin consists of a Unix system call emulation library, cygwin1.dll, together with a of GNU and other free software applications organized into a large number of optional packages. Among these packages are high-quality compilers and other software development tools, an X11 server, a complete X11 development toolkit, GNU emacs, TeX and LaTeX, OpenSSH (client and server), and much more, including everything needed to compile and use PhysioToolkit software under MS-Windows.

In order to run such software using Cygwin, that software must be compiled from its sources. Cygwin provides all of the components needed to do this in most cases; most POSIX-compliant software, including X11 applications, can easily be ported to MS-Windows using Cygwin. This page is provided as a service to help PhysioNet users and others get started using Cygwin.
Cygwin packages consist of. You may install Cygwin-64 using the setup-x86-64.exe. The downloading and installation process may take an hour or more. How to Use Linux Commands in Windows with Cygwin. Of available packages for you to install. Lot more you can do with Cygwin installed and we will.

Installing Cygwin Overview Installing Cygwin begins with downloading and running the Cygwin installer ( setup-x86.exe or setup-x86_64.exe), which is a small application that allows you to choose: • the Cygwin root directory (where Cygwin will be installed on your system) • which of the many Cygwin mirrors you will use while downloading • which optional Cygwin packages should be installed as well as a few other installation options.
Cygwin packages consist of bzip2-compressed tar (.tar.bz2) archives. The installer downloads these from the mirror you have chosen into a temporary directory, validates them by computing their MD5 sums, and then unpacks them into the root directory you have chosen. If you have at least 30 Gb free disk space (roughly half of which can be reclaimed after installation), you may choose to perform a full installation of Cygwin with all of its optional packages. This choice is recommended for those who prefer to work in a Unix or GNU/Linux environment but who are constrained to work under MS-Windows. A full installation provides a large subset of the software provided as standard components of a typical GNU/Linux distribution. Allow at least an hour to perform a full installation if you have a fast Internet connection, more otherwise.
If you wish only to compile and use existing software under MS-Windows, you may choose a custom installation of Cygwin, consisting of the Base package and a few optional packages listed below; this choice requires less than 1 Gb, and proportionately less time than a full installation.

Packages that have previously been installed will not be changed unless newer versions have become available and you choose to install them. When the installation is complete, the Cygwin root directory will resemble that of a typical Unix or GNU/Linux system, with subdirectories bin (applications and DLLs), etc (configuration files), home (containing a subdirectory for each Windows user registered on your system), lib (static libraries), tmp (temporary files), usr (containing additional software), var (log files), and (depending on the optional packages you choose) perhaps other directories as well.
