9. Click Next.
10. Select Direct Connection if it is not already.
11. Click Next.
12. Select a site from the Available Download Sites. Servers inside your country will probably be fastest. I use ftp://ftp.sunsite.utk.edu.
13. Click Next.
14. In the Cygwin Setup - Select Packages window, you need to make sure that the following tools are selected by clicking in the corresponding box under the New column until you see a version number.
    1. Required packages.
       • Devel -> cvs
       • Devel -> gcc-core
       • Devel -> gcc-g++
       • Devel -> make
       • Base -> gzip
       • Base -> tar
    The wget tool is also useful
    1. Tool for downloading package tarballs and zip files.
    • Web -> wget
    1. If you want to use Geant4's OpenGL drivers, you need to install X Windows, too. I believe these two packages should give you all the required X11 dependencies.
       • X11 -> xorg-x11-base
       • X11 -> xorg-x11-xwin
15. Click Next after you have selected the packages.
16. Cygwin will now automatically download and install all the selected packages. It might take awhile, so now is the time to go get some coffee.
17. If desired, select Create icon on Desktop or Add icon to Start Menu.
18. Click Finish.
