Update Cygwin and its packages

Run following commands in CMD (as admin):

  • cd C:\cygwin or the name of the folder where you have Cygwin installed
  • wget -N https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe or download the file manually
  • setup-x86.exe --no-desktop --no-shortcuts --no-startmenu --quiet-mode (it is better to disable antivirus and firewall)
