Note

This project was republished on Github and new development is happening on that fork of apt-cyg. Now that Google Code is winding down, you are strongly urged to switch: https://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg

Intro

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 " to find packages matching patterns
• "apt-cyg describe " to describe packages matching patterns
• "apt-cyg packageof " to locate parent packages

Quick start

First install subversion and wget through the standard cygwin setup program. Then run the following commands: # svn --force export http://apt-cyg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ /bin/ # chmod +x /bin/apt-cyg

• use apt-cyg, for example:

# apt-cyg install nano
