     8 Installation.

     9 =============

    10 

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

    12 

    13   d:\opt\cygwin

    14 

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

    16 

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

    18 

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

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

    21   REM operations.

    22   set CYGWIN=binary nontsec nodosfilewarning codepage:cp1251 noglob

    23 

    24   set LANG=ru_RU.cp1251

    25 

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

    27 

    28   set HOME=d:\home

    29 

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

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

    32 

    33   set TMP=c:\tmp

    34   set TEMP=c:\tmp

    35 

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