apt-get for Cygwin?

Question

Is there any apt-get-like program for use with Cygwin?

I already tried cyg-apt but when I try I get this error:

cyg-apt: do         


        

Answer 1

you can always make a bash alias to setup*.exe files in $home/.bashrc

cygwin 32bit

alias cyg-get="/cygdrive/c/cygwin/setup-x86.exe -q -P"

cygwin 64bit

alias cyg-get="/cygdrive/c/cygwin64/setup-x86_64.exe -q -P"

now you can install packages with

cyg-get <package>
