     7 Installation.

     8 =============

     9 

    10 Run setup.exe. Use output dir like::

    11 

    12   d:\opt\cygwin

    13 

    14 Add to your PATH env var exactly before C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS values::

    15 

    16   set PATH=d:\opt\cygwin\bin;d:\opt\cygwin\usr\local\bin;%PATH%

    17 

    18   REM Set CYGWIN variable to 'nontsec'. That makes sure that permissions

    19   REM on your windows machine are not updated as a side effect of cygwin

    20   REM operations.

    21   set CYGWIN=binary nontsec nodosfilewarning codepage:cp1251 noglob

    22 

    23   set LANG=ru_RU.cp1251

    24 

    25 Set HOME env var (where places config file and projects)::

    26 

    27   set HOME=d:\home

    28 

    29 Set TMP and TEMP env vars with good path (without spaces, etc.; these vars

    30 already set as used defined, so you need change their values)::

    31 

    32   set TMP=c:\tmp

    33   set TEMP=c:\tmp

    34 

    35 Also you need edit /etc/passwd to point to correct home path.
