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 " to install packages
• "apt-cyg remove " 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 " 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
