How To Run C Program

Install CygwinCygwin comes with a normal setup.exe to install in Windows, but there are a couple steps you will need to pay attention to, so we will walk you through the installation.To keep the installation small while saving bandwidth for you and Cygwin, the default installer will download only the files you need from the internet.The default install path is C:Cygwin but if you don’t like to have programs installed on the root of your C: drive you can change the path or.Click next until you come to a download mirror selection. Unfortunately, the installer does not say where the mirrors are located so in most cases you might as well just guess which mirror works best.After you have selected a mirror, the installer will download a list of available packages for you to install. Here is where things get a bit more intimidating.There will be hundreds of packages available separated by multiple different categories. If you don’t know what the package is you can leave the default selection and install additional packages later by running the installer again. If you know what package you need, you can search for it and the results will be automatically filtered.Once you click next, it will take a little while to download all the selected tools and then finish the installation.
