You need to install Cygwin; go to:

http://www.cygwin.com

You need to install at least the make utility, but I find that chere (command prompt here) is also very useful.

Also install openssh (under Net), so you can create your RSA key for Mercurial.

I’ve discovered that it’s best if you don’t install Python as part of Cygwin; instead use a single Python installation under windows. Cygwin will find the installation if it is on your Windows PATH.

Because of this, you shouldn’t select “mercurial” when you’re installing Cygwin because that will cause Python to be installed. Instead, install them as standalone Windows applications (see below).
