It's about time for a new post.. ;-)
Recently I've installed cygwin again on one of my
Windows boxes, because I was in need of some essential *nix tools,
especially netcat, whois, nslookup, dig, awk, grep etc.
Well, now that I ended up installing new apps every few minutes because
there was always something missing, I thought it'd be handy to have a
CLI tool instead of launching the 'setup.exe' all the time. A quick
google-research brought up apt-cyg,
which is similar to apt-get (debian). So it allows you to install your
package from the CLI.
Installation
The installation is nothing special;
``` {.lang:sh .decode:true} wget http://apt-cyg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/apt-cyg mv apt-cyg /usr/local/bin chmod +x /usr/local/bin/apt-cyg
Run
---
``` {.lang:sh .decode:true}
apt-cyg install bind
or
{.lang:sh .decode:true}
apt-cyg -u install bind
whereas the second doesn't update your local package repository stuff, so expect it to be much faster.
