I need help to install the chere package

cygwin

Solution

The `chere` package is shown as an available package in the Cygwin package list. There's at least a couple options here.

Option 1:

Try out `apt-cyg`, available here.

Option 2:

- Run the Cygwin setup file (if you didn't save your setup executable, pick the appropriate file here).

- Choose the `Install from Internet` option.

- Select the same Root Install directory you previously used.

- Choose a local package directory. You might consider choosing a different install files directory than previously (or backing it up), as if you choose a different internet source, your install files may get wiped out, if that matters to you.

- Select an internet source.

- In `Select Packages`, select the radio button for `Keep`, if you don't want to modify your existing files unnecessarily.

- Type `chere` in to the Search box and select it.

- Proceed with the installation.

Problem

I have installed Cygwin. I need the chere package but it was not in the Shells category at time of install. Where is it now? Or how can I get this?
