Any time you want to update or install a Cygwin package, use the
graphical <command>setup.exe</command> program. Note that, differently from
what happens under most Unix and Linux systems, presence of updated
packages isn't checked automatically in the default installation, but you
have to run manually<command>setup.exe</command> to check for updates.
By default, <command>setup.exe</command> only installs a minimal set of
packages, so look around and choose your favorite utilities on the package
selection screen. You may also search for specfic tools on the Cygwin
website's <ulink url="http://cygwin.com/packages/">Setup Package
Search</ulink> For more information about what each option in
<command>setup.exe</command> means, see <xref linkend="internet-setup"></xref>.
Use the graphical command <command>setup.exe</command> any time you want
to update or install a Cygwin package. This program must be run
manually every time you want to check for updated packages since Cygwin
does not currently include a mechanism for automatically detecting
package updates.
