Norman Graf has some Detailed Cygwin Installation Instructions.
- Download www.cygwin.com/setup.exe from www.cygwin.com.
- Double-click on it and click Next.
- Select Install from Internet and click Next.
- Enter your preferred Root Directory and click Next.
- Enter your preferred Local Package Directory, which can be the same as the Root Directory, and then click Next.
- Select Direct Connection, if it is not already, click Next.
- Select a site from the Available Download Sites. Servers inside your country will probably be fastest. I use ftp://ftp.sunsite.utk.edu.
- Click Next.
- 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.
- Required packages.
- Devel -> cvs
- Devel -> gcc-core
- Devel -> gcc-g++
- Devel -> make
- Base -> gzip
- Base -> tar
- Tool for downloading package tarballs and zip files.
- Web -> wget
- Required packages.
- Click Next after you have selected the packages.
- 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.
- If desired, select Create icon on Desktop or Add icon to Start Menu, and click Finish.
