Cygwin is a unix simulation environment software that can run on windows platforms. it is very useful for learning unix/linux operating environments. It was easy to install a software, but the cygwin software is a little different. This article will introduce the Cygwin local installation tutorial in detail.
During linux beginners, the biggest headache is that windows and linux have their own advantages and functions, so you can only switch between them and restart them constantly. It is also troublesome when you start the system, because most beginners use windows. after installing linux, they will have the opportunity to automatically start linux (of course, you can set the system to be started or modify the corresponding file after the installation is completed during the installation process.) if you want to enter windows, you have to sit down on your computer and wait. Cygwin solves this problem.
Cygwin is a unix simulated environment running on the windows platform. it can be used to learn unix/linux operating environments, transplant applications from unix to windows, or perform some special development work, particularly, it is very useful to use the gnu toolkit for embedded system development on windows.
It was easy to install a software program, but when I first came into contact with cygwin, many people had to wait a few days to get it done. The main reason is: Ghost, which can be installed at any time. Cygwinis also about to download a setup.exe, because this setup.exe is not an installation package, but only for downloading and customizing the installation package. after downloading the custom package, it is the real installation (you don't need the network). you'll understand it later.
The installation details are as follows.
Step 1: Download the latest version:
Software name:Cygwin (simulate Linux environment)
:Http://www.bitsCN.com/softs/102136.html
Double-click setup.exe.
The installation directory should not be a Chinese name to avoid errors. if the website cannot be accessed and an error is prompted, try again to access the website.
Click next ],
The first option is online installation, the second option is to download and not install (then manually install), and the third option is that you have downloaded the installation package and installed it through the downloaded local installation package, if this is the first installation, select the first one (default ),
[Next]
Specify the installation directory. the following single region is the default value. [next]
Select the path for storing the downloaded installation package. [next]
Select the connection method. The first (default) method is used. [next]
Select an image site and press Ctrl to select multiple sites. [next]
Two files will be downloaded from the selected image site. wait a moment and [next]
This step is critical. select the package to be downloaded and installed. select a package based on your needs. the more packages you select, the longer the download time you need, click View to switch between categories, all, and selected categories cyclically. click the plus sign in front of each category to expand. to select each package, you only need to click the icon of the image loop at the front of each row, switch between the version number and the Skip number. select the latest version number. the check box below will be changed by default:
After the selection, [next] will display the installation package you selected:
Click next to start the installation. In the end, you will be asked to select whether to generate a shortcut, and then OK!
To install a new installation package, or update, run setup.exe and select the installation package.
