    2.2- Installation for Windows (using cygwin):


    ////////////////////////////////////////////////
    When running on Windows, Moshell uses a unix emulator known as Cygwin.
    Go directly to step 12 if you have already installed and configured cygwin
    previously.
    1- Go to the website www.cygwin.com and click on "Install Cygwin"
    2- Save the setup-x86.exe file, then execute it. Make sure to use the 32-bit setup,
    as 64-bit cygwin is not supported by moshell.
    3- Choose "Install from internet", then click Next.
    4- Root Directory "C:/cygwin" (It is not recommended to choose a different
    directory, especially if it contains spaces).
    5- Select Internet Connection window: if connected on a corporate network without
    direct internet access, put the proxy settings or select "use Internet Explorer
    settings". Then click Next.
    6- Choose a Download Site. For instance http://sourceware.mirror.tds.net is known
    to work well but probably others work fine too.
    7- Select Packages: Add the following packages:
    - under "Archive", select "zip" and "unzip"
    - under "Perl", select "perl", "perl-XML-Simple", and "perl-IO-Tty"
    - under "Net", select "inetutils", "openssh", "openssl"
    - under "Tcl", select "expect"
    - under "Libs", select "libglib2.0_0"
    - under "Database", select "postgresql"
    - under "Graphics", select "gnuplot"
    - under "Editors" select "vim" (optional)
    8- Click Next. Install will start. Wait for installation to complete.
    9- Copy the file moshell/examples/cygwin_install/cygwin_install.txt to C:/Cygwin
    (also available from http://utran01.au.ao.ericsson.se/moshell/cygwin_install.txt).
    10- Click on Start --> Run. In the "Run" window, type: cmd , then press "enter".
    A DOS window opens. At the DOS prompt, execute the following commands:
    c:
    cd cygwin
    bin\perl.exe cygwin_install.txt
    This will create the following files: c:/cygwin/etc/profile, c:/cygwin/cygwin.bat,
    c:/cygwin/home/youruserid/.bashrc, c:/cygwin/home/youruserid/.minttyrc,
    c:/cygwin/home/youruserid/.inputrc. If those files already exist, they are
    automatically moved to the folder c:/cygwin/tmp/installbackup.
    11- Open a cygwin terminal window by double-clicking on the cygwin icon in the
    start menu or on the file c:/cygwin/cygwin.bat. The window should be black with
    white text and the prompt should like this: [~]$
    If not, then go through all the steps again and make sure you haven't missed out
    anything.
    12- Moshell installation:
    Copy the moshell installation package (moshellxxx.zip) to your home directory (e.g.
    c:/cygwin/home/youruser).
    Open the cygwin shell and run the following commands:
    >> unzip -o moshellxxx.zip
    >> bash moshell_install
    When prompted to enter the directory where you want to install moshell, it is
    recommended to specify your HOME directory ( ~ ). If you have executed
    moshell_install from your home directory then you can press the enter key and the
    current directory is selected.
    If a previous moshell installation already exists, it is recommended to install in
    the same directory as the old one. This way, all your custom files (jar/xml files,
    site files, etc.) get copied across to the new revision and the old revision gets
    moved to a different location so you can still access it if needed. When prompted
    to enter the java path just type "java" on its own.
