CLI package installation on Cygwin
Cygwin officially gives a vague answer about where there is a command-line installer for it or not. A quick search gave two options: cyg-apt (last updated in 2009) and apt-cyg (currently maintained). I'd try apt-cyg. And you are all set. If you do not have wget, install it. Cheers!
