Initially, the setup program should have picked all the default options for a Cygwin install. This is where things get a little tricky.
#Clion windows install#
Then, after selecting the install directory (where Cygwin will be on your computer) and local package directory (where all the downloaded files will initially go) of your choosing, when asked about the type of your internet connection, select "Direct Connection"įeel free to pick any site you want, just make sure that you don't pick the same as your neighbors (please don't all pick the first one), otherwise downloading will be quite slow.Īfter that, you will be asked to select the packages you would like to install. Once you are past the initial screen, select that you want to install cygwin from the internet: Feel free to ask me if you would like to learn more about it and do a more complete installation.įirst, you need the Setup executable, which you can get here.

We will only do a bare-bones installation of it since we will use it only for the C++ compiler it contains. If you have a Mac, please go to this page.Ĭygwin provides a Linux-like environment for Windows users. The instructions here are for Windows users only. This page contains the instructions to install the C++ compiler (as part of Cygwin) and the Integrated Development Environment - CLion - that we will use this semester. While we do have a very short lab exercise for you this week, the focus of this lab session is downloading and installing the software we will need this semester. Sometimes, when necessary, we will also discuss the content of the coming programming assignment. A typical lab session usually consists of a few demos, followed by a series of exercises on the content we have just seen in class. This week is a little unusual in that we haven't really learned enough to start a typical CS35 lab.
