How do I install cURL on cygwin?
Nobody said how to install apt-cyg
in cygwin
lynx -source rawgit.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/master/apt-cyg > apt-cyg
install apt-cyg /bin
now you can
apt-cyg install curl
For more, see the official github repository of apt-cyg
.
In the Cygwin package manager, click on curl from within the "net" category. Yes, it's that simple.
apt-cyg
is a great installer similar to apt-get to easily install any packages for Cygwin.
$ apt-cyg install curl
Note: apt-cyg
should be first installed. You can do this from Windows command line:
cd c:\cygwin
cygwinsetup.exe -q -P wget,tar,qawk, bzip2,vim,lynx
Close Windows cmd, and open Cygwin Bash.
$ lynx -source rawgit.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg/master/apt-cyg > apt-cyg install apt-cyg /bin
$ chmod +x /bin/apt-cyg
I just encountered this.
1) Find the cygwin setup.exe file from http://cygwin.com/ and run it.
2) Click/enter preferences until you reach the "Select Packages" window. (See image)
3) Click (+) for Net
4) Click the entry for curl. (Make sure you select the checkbox for the Binary)
5) Install.
6) Open a cygwin window and type curl.exe (should be available now).
