I am using xampp in Windows 8. I want to install magento security patches in local magetno. To run command I have install Cvgdrive but when I run the following command I am getting an error.

bash PATCH_SUPEE-5388_CE_1.4.0.0-1.5.0.1_v1-2015-03-03-09-43-19.sh

The error:

Error! Some required system tools, that are utilized in this sh script, are not installed:
Tool(s) "patch" is(are) missed, please install it(them).

How can I fix this issue?

Answer 1

The command line utility patch needs to be installed. Cygwin has a package system to install additional utilities and programs for use in the Cygwin environment.

1. Full list of Cygwin packages is here.
2. Cygwin Package Search for full package version name.
3. Installing and updating Cygwin packages

Run the Cygwin setup program (setup-x86.exe or setup-x86_64.exe) to manage what's installed.
