<WRAP tip>
If you don't have administrator rights for your machine, you can install Cygwin just for yourself by downloading setup-x86.exe (for a 32 bit install) or setup-x86_64.exe (for a 64 bit install) and then start it from the command line or via the "Run..." dialog from the start menu using the --no-admin option, for instance:
<code>
setup-x86.exe --no-admin
</code>
