How add commands to cygwin - npm

Question

I use cygwin on windows 8.1 to have an Unix shell. But I cannot run commands such as npm from it.

What should I do to do it? Add some kind of env var to cygwin? Why

Answer 1

sed -i 's/\r//' "$(type -p npm)"

Convert line endings

Also despite the comment, this will not hurt execution with cmd.exe

$ printf '@echo hello\n@echo world\n@echo doge\n' > foo.bat

$ cmd /c foo.bat
hello
world
doge
