     5 * Installation.

     6 

     7 Run setup.exe. Use output dir like:

     8 

     9   d:\opt\cygwin

    10 

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

    12 

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

    14 

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

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

    17   REM operations.

    18   set CYGWIN=binary nontsec nodosfilewarning codepage:cp1251 noglob

    19 

    20   set LANG=ru_RU.cp1251

    21 

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

    23 

    24   set HOME=d:\home

    25 

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

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

    28 

    29   set TMP=c:\tmp

    30   set TEMP=c:\tmp

    31 

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