[MITgcm-support] some very basic questions

[Gerard C Nihous]

Hi Ed,

Thanks a lot for the tip on running a UNIX-like environment on a Windows machine. I downloaded the Cygwin software and proceeded with the MITgcm code download. As instructed, I typed

$ export CVSROOT=':pserver:cvsanon at mitgcm.org:/u/gcmpack'

$ cvs login

The second command seems to have been unrecognized, however; I got the diagnostic

bash: cvs: command not found

Sorry to bother you with what must be trivial stuff.

Gerard
