Cygwin is the closest Linux experience you can have on your PC without installing any type of Linux on your computer. It has a large collection of open source programs that are transferred to Windows to provide functionality similar to that of Linux for Windows users. Unfortunately, Cygwin offers a web-based installer online, that is, you must download the different packages each time you choose to install it on your PC.

<b>1:</b> Create a folder on your hard drive to store the Cygwin repository. For example, I created E: \ Cygwin.</div>

There are 32-bit and 64-bit installers for Cygwin, so you should choose properly. In my case, I downloaded setup-x86.exe because I have 32-bit Windows.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3:</b> Start the downloaded Cygwin installer and choose the Download without installing option when prompted and then click on the Next button.</div>

<b>8: </b>When the download completes, close the Cygwin configuration window and start the configuration again.

By choosing to download and save packages from Cygwin repositories on the Internet, you can create your own local repository for offline use. But this local repository has one drawback: it will not be updated unless you make the effort to keep it updated.</div>
