I need to install jq under Text library in cygwin without reinstalling it, is there any way to update libraries or install new ones without reinstalling cygwin?
thanks.
I opened preinstalled cygwin, it takes me through installing steps which may overwrite my installed libraries.
I just use 'code' in ubuntu.
i download code_1.74.2-1671533413_amd64.deb in site
sudo apt install ./code_1.74.2-1671533413_amd64.deb
then update package
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get update
apt-get install code # or code-insiders
then i have problem like this.

To use Visual Studio Code with the Windows Subsystem for Linux, please install Visual Studio Code in Windows and uninstall the Linux version in WSL. You can then use the code command in a WSL terminal just as you would in a normal command prompt.
Do you want to continue anyway? [y/N]
how can i solve this?
You have two options when running VSCode under WSL:
Run the Linux version, as you are doing currently.
The Linux version should run fine, but is limited to compiling, running, and debugging Linux applications. It will not be able to use the Windows versions of any of your development tools. This may or may not be a problem for you. If you only plan to use Linux toolchains from WSL, then the Linux version of VSCode will handle those just fine.
Run the Windows version and install the WSL Extension or the Remote Development Extension Pack (which includes the WSL Extension).
This has the advantage of being able to use Linux tools (through a "shim server" that is automatically installed in WSL when you launch code) or native Windows tools.
As a native Windows application, it should also be a bit better integrated with the Windows desktop.
There are just very few reasons (and I can't think of any of them at the moment) why you would want to use the Linux version in this case.
I am a windows 7 user and want to download npm and nodejs.
I have tried to install node js on windows 7 but it is not supported.
So, is there any linux version that can be downloaded on windows 7 and supports npm and nodejs ?
Or if anyone can tell any other way to download npm and nodejs on my pc.
And, I cannot upgrade my operating system.
I think you are a bit confused, Linux cannot be installed on Windows (there's the subsystem on Windows 10, but that's different), as Linux is a kernel that is usually paired with the GNU operating system, in practice, this means Linux is used as an operating system, and cannot be installed on Windows.
Installing Linux on your computer would mean deleting Windows.
What you can do, if you can't uninstall Windows, is create a virtual machine running Debian (a popular Linux distribution) using VirtualBox, you'd need to get a Debian ISO and create a virtual machine with it.
Once you install it, you can run sudo apt install npm nodejs inside a terminal to install Node.js and npm.
You don't have to use Debian, I suggested it because I personally like it for servers, but you can use Ubuntu, Fedora, Manjaro or any other distribution.
EDIT:
I did some further reading and found this tutorial, in which is shown how to install Node.js on Windows 7, by installing the LTS release 13.14.0.
I am using an application on Linux, Ubuntu that originally was on Windows. I am missing opengl header files that I had access to with the Windows 10 SDK.
I want to install opengl on my Ubuntu machine. I did a search for it under Ubuntu packages here.
How do I know which package to install?
I want to install ns2 on my computer. After trying in some ways like:installing on Ubuntu 13.10, or installing via cygwin on 64 bits windows 7, I faced with problems such as unable to find ns.exe in ns-2.26 or other versions directory of cygwin. Now I've installed win XP sp3 on VMware, and ns2 on cygwin in this windows environment. Now most of those problems(with Ubuntu 13.10 or cygwin on win7) are solved but i need to have these packages "XFree86"(all of them) and "mansim" on ns2 (v2.26). The problem here, is that i don't know where and how can i download and install them and not sure whether it's possible or not. I've googled it but can't find useful idea. Thanks in advance and sorry for bad English.
Solved you say? Why then be interested in the year 2002 XFree86?
I.e. XFree86 hasn't been used in a new OS release since then : Redhat 9 and other OS´s from that year. (The latest OS with XFree86 was RHEL3, based on Redhat 9.)
Cygwin: If you have X (The GUI Desktop), you also have the "x-packages". (xorg-***, libX*)
Ubuntu: You'd usually not download software. 'apt' is used for that.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install g++ g++-4.4 autoconf libtool libxmu-dev xgraph
.... When 'libxmu-dev' is installed, you have all the required X-libraries for ns2.
Mannasim: There's an old patch for ns-2.29.3.
But what we mostly use today is the patch for ns-2.35. Or the complete "ns235-mannasim":
$ git clone git://github.com/paultsr/ns-allinone-2.35.git
