<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Dear Prasanta,<br><br></div>Unfortunately there are no simple video tutorials, but the installation should be straightforward nonetheless. Make sure that you download the latest xcrysden package for cygwin (i.e. <a href="http://www.xcrysden.org/download/xcrysden-1.5.60-cygwin.tar.gz">http://www.xcrysden.org/Download.html/</a><a href="http://www.xcrysden.org/download/xcrysden-1.5.60-cygwin.tar.gz">xcrysden-1.5.60-cygwin.tar.gz )</a><br><br>###<br></div><div>Copy it to your cygwin directory (cygdrive), and unpack it in a directory of your choice. <br><br>To unpack it in the current working directory ($PWD) use the command:<br><br>tar -xvf xcrysden-1.5.60-cygwin.tar.gz<br><br></div><div>This should create a new directory in your $PWD named xcrysden-1.5.60-bin-shared (i.e. $PWD/xcrysden-1.5.60-bin-shared).<br></div><div>In this directory you will find the file README.cygwin and in it a list of packages xcrysden depends upon. You need to install these packages as well, the best way to do so is by using the apt-cyg package. How to install it with cygwin is described here:<br><br><a href="https://www.fir3net.com/UNIX/Linux/cygwin-package-installation.html">https://www.fir3net.com/UNIX/Linux/cygwin-package-installation.html</a><br><br></div><div>With this package manager you can install the other packages easily with the command:<br><br></div><div>apt-cyg install package-name package-name2 ...<br><br></div><div>The packages listed should be enough for xcrysden to work, be careful though, you need to start the xserver before it works, this is done with the command:<br><br></div><div>startx<br><br></div><div>This by default starts the xterm app, from which you can then run xcrysden, go to your $PWD/xcrysden-1.5.60-bin-shared/ using cd and start xcrysden from there with the command:<br></div><div><br>./xcrysden <br><br>###<br><br></div><div>This is the minimum required for xcrysden to run; however I suggest the following:<br><br></div><div>Add the unpack directory to the $PATH variable, which enables you to run xcrysden from any directory using just the command <br><br>xcrysden<br><br>This is done by adding a line to your .bashrc file (found in your home directory). Open it with your favorite text editor (i.e. pluma .bashrc), and add a line:<br><br></div><div>export PATH=$PWD/xcrysden-1.5.60-bin-shared/:$PATH<br></div><div><br></div><div>and save the file. (Note: instead of $PWD use the full path name) <br>Source the changes with:<br><br>source .bashrc<br><br></div><div>and you should be able to run xcrysden from any directory (within cygwin).<br><br></div><div>To get a more linux-like usage you can install a desktop environment as well, for example the mate desktop environment:<br><br><a href="https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2014-10/msg00003.html">https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2014-10/msg00003.html</a><br><a href="https://darrengoossens.wordpress.com/2015/02/04/using-mate-desktop-by-default-in-cygwin/">https://darrengoossens.wordpress.com/2015/02/04/using-mate-desktop-by-default-in-cygwin/</a><br><br></div><div>The startx command then starts the desktop environment, and by opening a terminal of your choice you can then start xcrysden in the same way as before, only it will now open in a virtual desktop that is your cygwin window. I hope this helps, if anything is unclear or doesn't work please let me know. <br><br>Best Regards,<br><br></div><div>Matic<br><br><br>--<br></div><div>Matic Poberznik<br></div><div>J.

</span>Do you instead mean that you "cannot" install it?<br>
