Cygwin: Ncucc Fan-Lei Liao

Cygwin provides a Unix-like environment and functionality for Windows by emulating Unix with a collection of utilities. It allows users to use Linux/Unix commands and applications on Windows. Cygwin can be installed by downloading the setup file from its website and choosing packages to install. It allows running commands like bash and using tools like compilers, FTP clients, and web browsers in Windows. However, Cygwin is not a true Unix system and some packages need to be recompiled to run.
