My goal is to build up a recommendation system and after going through many articles, I came across Mahout as a simple, yet effective way to go on. I already have XAMPP installed on my system.
How can I install Mahout? I need the complete instructions since I have neither worked with cygwin before, nor have I worked with Hadoop, and everywhere I see, I see these two mentioned very frequently. I first need to install it on my localhost before going on installing it on the server.

The installaton instructions would be exactly the same as if you were running it on any other version of Windows. What part of the installation are you confused about? – Ramhound – 2013-12-30T11:34:33.927
I couldn't find proper documentation of Windows installation, be it any version – Ranveer – 2013-12-30T12:02:06.033

This link was on the build instructions on the Mahout website http://hayesdavis.net/2008/06/14/running-hadoop-on-windows/ You shouldn't need cygwin considering its a java application. You will have to follow the Hadoop build and installation instructions also.
