apt-cyg

apt-cyg is a command-line installer for Cygwin which cooperates with Cygwin Setup and uses the same repository. The syntax is similar to apt-get. Usage examples:

• apt-cyg install <package names> to install packages
• apt-cyg remove <package names> to remove packages
• apt-cyg update to update setup.ini
• apt-cyg show to show installed packages
• apt-cyg find <pattern(s)> to find packages matching patterns
• apt-cyg describe <pattern(s)> to describe packages matching patterns
• apt-cyg packageof <commands or files> to locate parent packages

Quick start

apt-cyg is a simple script. Once you have a copy, make it executable:

chmod +x /bin/apt-cyg

Optionally place apt-cyg in a bin/ folder on your $PATH.

Then use apt-cyg, for example:

apt-cyg install nano
