I have installed Cygwin DLL 2.10.0
, the latest version of Cygwin, from https://www.cygwin.com/. However, I am struggling to get some basic commands working like:
cygcheck
, mount
, and any other package in the Cygwin utilities listed in their documentation (https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html). I looked over their installation instructions and it seems like Cygwin should be straightforward: select packages for installation by checking some boxes then "next." I have set-up a working Cygwin installation on my work laptop but am struggling to do the same on my personal Windows 10 PC.
In Cygwin, I get an error like:
$ mount
-bash: mount: command not found
I read about the which
command to help debug, but not quite sure how to decipher the output:
$ which cygcheck
which: no cygcheck in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/iCLS Client:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Intel/iCLS Client:/cygdrive/c/RailsInstaller/Git/cmd:/cygdrive/c/RailsInstaller/Ruby2.3.3/bin:/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Oracle/Java/javapath:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/Windows Live:/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32:/cygdrive/c/Windows:/cygdrive/c/Windows/ System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.6/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/QuickTime /QTSystem:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/NVIDIA Corporation/PhysX/Common:/cygdr ive/c/WINDOWS/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Sk ype/Phone:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Google/Cloud SDK/google-cloud-sdk/bin: /cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Apple/Internet Services:/cygdrive/c /Program Files/MiKTeX 2.9/miktex/bin/x64:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/U CRT:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Intel/UCRT:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/I ntel(R) Management Engine Components/DAL:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Intel/Intel(R ) Management Engine Components/DAL:/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/Intel(R ) Management Engine Components/IPT:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Intel/Intel(R) Mana gement Engine Components/IPT:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/c ygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v 1.0:/cygdrive/c/Users/alohakid/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps:/usr/lib/l apack)
Any resources or troubleshooting tips are appreciated.
Perhaps related is that when I start Cygwin on my personal PC, I get the following errors:
-bash: /usr/bin/locale: No such file or directory
-bash: /usr/bin/tzset: No such file or directory
and my backspace
button is interpreted as a space
command. I do not observe any of this behavior on my work laptop's Cygwin installation. I am not running Mintty.
Can you add how you installed cygwin? I suspect you ticked/unticked some essential options during installation. If you have no cygcheck you won't be able to do much. – HoD – 2018-03-09T08:01:35.307
Are you running the login shell from Mintty (Cygwin Terminal) ? – matzeri – 2018-03-09T11:54:50.330
@matzeri no, I am not – user2205916 – 2018-03-09T20:25:52.897
@HoD I downloaded the installer and clicked "Next" multiple times. I didn't tick/untick anything during the initial installation. – user2205916 – 2018-03-09T20:26:47.327
How are you running the bash ? – matzeri – 2018-03-09T20:28:04.683
