How do I install a cygwin package from the command line?
I can install a cygwin package when I first install cygwin, but is there something like:
cyginstall git
kind of like apt-get?
Solution 1:
You should be able to use setup.exe
w/o the GUI:
setup.exe -q -n -N -d -R c:\cygwin -s http://yourFavoriteMirror \
-l c:\localPackageDir -P <comma-separated list of packages to install>
This is from cygwin mailing list (and follow up post)
Solution 2:
This question was already asked here. Answer:
wget http://apt-cyg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/apt-cyg
chmod +x apt-cyg
mv apt-cyg /usr/local/bin/
apt-cyg install bc
Solution 3:
You can run setup.exe again and add/remove package, as well as the first time ;)
