Cygwin not supported

Currently, the Cygwin terminal is not supported by IDEasy. The suggested way of using IDEasy is with the git-bash terminal. If you, for whatever reason, still intend to use IDEasy with Cygwin, you can find a few caveats and suggestions below. Be warned that setting Cygwin up for IDEasy could potentially be very time-consuming.

Caveats

  • Not working with Cygwin are the following (note: this list is non-exhaustive):

    • Some IDEs are not working as expected. Examples:

      • ide Intellij does not open intellij

Suggestions

  • When you installed Cygwin, you might have set your home variable where IDEasy isn’t expecting it.

    • Do echo $HOME to check that it points to path '/cygdrive/c/Users/<your-user-name>'

    • If not, change the home variable in your system settings accordingly or load the .bashrc file of IDEasy from within the .bashrc file of Cygwin: source /cygdrive/c/Users/<your-user-name>/.bashrc && echo "IDEasy’s bashrc loaded".
