bc can be installed with the command apt-cyg install bc. – Baiel

There might be an alternative in bash shell syntax (I'm not talking old school, like expr, I mean modern bash)? I'm looking to run a list of sums, one per line. – Handiness

Answer 1

You need to select the bc package for installation from the "Select Packages" window.
By default setup installs only base category that is ~ 50 packages, while the full availability is ~ 4000.

Answer 2

On Windows Cygwin, run setup.exe and search for "bc" in the "Math" category, click on it and hit Next to install.

On Unix/Linux you'll probably be needed to install this package Using:

sudo apt install bc

I believe that bc is not installed by default on Cygwin, and you will need to install it manually. This link might help you.

DISCLAIMER: I have never used Cygwin.
