Problem
How do I install Cygwin on my Windows Operation System?
Solution
- Download http://cygwin.com/setup.exe to a local directory, e.g. C:\Downloads\Cygwin
- Start C:\Downloads\Cygwin\setup.exe and follow steps
- Additional packages I install (besides the base-packages), see Cygwin: Programs to install

Error message during install:
bash.exe - Kan DLL-bestand niet vinden Kan DLL-bestand cygreadline6.dll niet vinden in het opgegeven pad
You can search for the package providing a missing file, using this url:
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=cygreadline6.dll
Solution seems to install package `GNU readline and history libraries (runtime)', but within the setup `libreadline6' is already selected?
After re-installing all (without cancelling anything) everything seems to work all right.
