Adding new packages in Cygwin
Posted: 23 Nov 2012, 12:04pm - Friday

I've been playing around with Cygwin after 7 years. I check on the new stuffs and it has been change a lot. One thing I puzzled about was how to add new commands aside from default cygwin installation. So here it is; 

 setup.exe -q -P  wget,tar,qawk,bzip2,subversion,vim
So you will use the setup.exe of cygwin that you downloaded. Then install the commands that what you need. --=[ update as of 09 Dec 2014 ]=-- Below is the command to update all components: 
cd C:\cygwin64\
wget -N http://cygwin.com/setup.exe
setup.exe --no-desktop --no-shortcuts --no-startmenu --quiet-mode
