How do I install curl on cygwin?

Answer 1

On the Windows system where you want to install Cygwin with cURL download and run the Cygwin installer

64-bit: cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe 32-bit: cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe (if already installed, go to the setup file existed path)

D:\cygwin\setup (where the Cygwin is existed)

Click on the setup (setup-x86_64)

Follow the prompts in the Cygwin Setup wizard.

You can leave most settings at their default values. Pay specific attention to the following:

In the Select Your Internet Connectioin screen, select "Install from Internet".

In the Choose a download site screen, choose a site from the list, or add your own sites to the list, I have Chosen a: “mirrors.xmission.com”

The Select Packages screen displays a list of all the available packages and lets you select those you want to install. By default, only the packages in the "Base" category are marked for installation. The "Base" category does not include tools like cURL. You should select those explicitly.

By default, the packages are grouped by category. Click the View button to toggle to the Full view

Select all the curl packages by clicking the "Skip" button for each package once. Note how the "Skip" label changes to show the version number of the selected package.

the Select Packages screen should look like

Click Next through the rest of the wizard. The selected packages are downloaded and installed.

It worked for me and it resolved the issue : bash curl command not found cygwin
