Home < Slicer3:Build Instructions WindowsInstalling Cygwin
Go to http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
You will get a pop-up window asking if you want to run or save this file. Click 'Run'. If a security warning pops up asking if you are sure you want to run the software, click 'Run' again.
If you minimize your web browser window, you should now see a window titled 'Cygwin Net Release Setup Program'. Click 'Next.'
Select 'Install from Internet', and click 'Next.'
The defaults are fine for the Choose Installation Directory page, click 'Next'
The default for Select Local Package Directory is also fine, click 'Next'
For 'Select Your Internet Connection', choose 'Direct Connection' and click 'Next'
Any of the download sites are fine to use. Click 'Next'
You will now see a page titled 'Select Packages'. In the upper right hand corner, there is a button labeled 'View'. Click the 'View' button once to change the view to 'Full', and maximize the window so you can see all of the columns.
The package names are on the right. On the left, you'll see that each package is labeled 'Skip', 'Keep', or has a version number. We want to install these packages in addition to the defaults:
- curl
- cvs
- tcltk
- subversion
- unzip
For each of these packages, click on 'Skip' so that a version number appears. After you have clicked on all of the above packages, click 'Next'.
At this point, Cygwin will start the download and install.
After the installation, you will see a 'Create Icons' screen. The defaults are fine; click 'Finish'
You should now have an icon on your desktop that looks like a black C with a green arrow. Double click the icon to start Cygwin.

A window may pop up saying that you need to install Microsoft Silverlight. Click 'Enable Silverlight'
Halfway down the page, there is a brown box labeled Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. Click the 'Download' link inside that box.
A pop up window will ask if you want to run or save this file. Click 'Run'
A setup window and progress bar will now appear. After that finishes, you will see a 'Welcome to Setup' page. Click 'Next'
Select 'I have read and accept the license terms' and click 'Next'

The default Destination Folder is fine. Click 'Next'
