Quick start
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
apt-cyg is a simple script. Once you have a copy, make it executable:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# chmod +x /bin/apt-cyg
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Optionally place apt-cyg in a bin/ folder on your path.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then use apt-cyg, for example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# apt-cyg install nano
|
