This script aims to provide a simple and easy way to install packages in Cygwin within the Cygwin terminal itself. If you want to learn more about Cygwin, please visit the Cygwin homepage here.

Currently the script is very simple and supports only installation of packages.

How To

You can use the following commands in the script.

	Option	Description
1	-h OR --help	Displays a help message on how to use the script.
2	-i OR --i packages	Installs the packages specified following this command. Separate the package names with a space. Example: cygwin --install vim nano OR cygwin -i vim nano Both of these commands would install the packages vim and nano to your Cygwin environment.

Installation

There is no specific way to install this script, so long as the script's directory is in the PATH and is executable. You can even use something like this in the terminal with curl:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DaniAsh551/cygwin-package-installer/master/cygwin > /usr/bin/cygwin && chmod +x /usr/bin/cygwin
or with wget in the terminal:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DaniAsh551/cygwin-package-installer/master/cygwin -O /usr/bin/cygwin && chmod +x /usr/bin/cygwin
That is all.

Dependencies
