How to run .sh file on Windows 7 through Cygwin?

Tags:

I have to use a package on my Windows 7 OS but the package comes only with the .sh file so I have to use bash and hence Cygwin to run on my machine.

But I am kinda familiar with Windows but completely new to Cygwin and shell programming.

Suppose I have a run.sh file in /cygdrive/c/Users/myUserName/Desktop/software/myPackage/bin, how should I run it in Cygwin?

Downloaded Cygwin and in the terminal I navigate to that directory and type run.sh enter but it complains

$ run.sh -bash: run.sh: command not found 

I am asking this because I generally understand in Windows you can just navigate to the directory and run the .bat file and that's it?

How does this work for Cygwin? Any suggestion are highly appreciated!

How do I run a .sh file in Windows 7?

Install the GitBash tool in the Windows OS. Set the below Path in the environment variables of System for the Git installation. Type 'sh' in cmd window to redirect into Bourne shell and run your commands in terminal. Git Bash comes with Git for Windows.

You can run it as:

bash run.sh 

Or else:

chmod +x run.sh ./run.sh
