This is a common problem, not only with shoes. Almost every installation for linux involves apt-get install or yum install. Using cygwin it's impossible to use those commands. What's the solution?
Didn't find the solution, switched to linux.

How to install libleveldb-dev (leveldb development libraries) on windows? I need this to be downloaded so I can install plyvel. Thank you in advance I hope someone is familiar with this process.
The way to install this on Linux is :
sudo apt-get install libleveldb-dev
But I need to install this on windows. Is there a similar easy way to do this in the windows command prompt? Related Link: https://plyvel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#build-and-install-plyvel
Just answering for the next ones, there is a version of plyver just for windows that doesnt require all this suffering. just try: "pip install plyvel-win32" if you have the visual libraries should work.
i have an device running on Pure Linux, there is no Package installer installed on that, the only thing i have is SSH and therefore also an Terminal. Commands like apt-get, dpkg, yum dont work.
How do i install apt-get over SSH? I've saw some suggestions that use yum, make or dpkg to install apt-get, but since i've neither of them...
For debian based systems exists a tool called apt-offline. That's perfect in that scenario.

I am new to Linux (new as in installed it yesterday), I need it for my programming course in the university and I've been told to install specific versions of specific programs, but though I've used apt-get install to install them (having previously done apt-get update) they aren't in the correct version.
The programs that I need are make 4.0 and valgrind 3.10.1.
apt-get installs make 3.81 and valgrind 3.10.0.SVN.
I have tried typing "apt-get install make4.0" and "apt-get install valgrind10.3.1" to no avail. I have downloaded them from the internet and followed what instructions I could understand to install the newer versions but it keeps saying that I have the older ones. (I'm not sure if I can post direct links here, if I can let me know and I'll post where I got them from).
What have I been doing wrong? How can I fix this?
I am currently running Linux Mint.
Thanks for any answer in advance.
Due to a long-standing unresolved Debian bug report, GNU Make remained the age-old 3.81 in Debian for a very long time, and as a consequence, in Debian-based distributions such as Ubuntu and Mint.
The latest Debian release, Jessie, has upgraded to 4.0, so Debian-based distributions will have that upgrade. However, it is better to use 4.1.
This has been discussed many times on the GNU Make mailing list and elsewhere.
So to get a newer version, you must compile it from scratch.
This is easy:
Install the required packages (gcc, make and such).
Open up a shell (if you're using the GUI, a terminal window).
Type the following commands (or something equivalent, e.g. you can use curl instead of wget):
cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-4.1.tar.gz
tar xvf make-4.1.tar.gz
cd make-4.1/
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..
rm -rf make-4.1.tar.gz make-4.1
Now, make 4.1 is in /usr/local/bin/make.
You can verify it is there with whereis make.
You can make it your default make by prefixing /usr/local/bin to your $PATH variable in your shell startup file; for instance, in .profile or .bashrc if you use the bash shell.
Don't try to install a self-compiled make (or anything else that doesn't come from the distribution's package manager) into /bin or /usr/bin; doing that will confuse your package manager.
I'm using CentOS 4.8 , i386.
I would appreciate if any one can help me to install Gnome (or any other GUI) while there is no yum available.
I tried to install yum but since It's a company's server with many things installed on it,
I faced with many problems.
However I decided to find a way to install Gnome without using yum
And please take note:
I'm a neophyte!
Did you try getting the source-code and building it manually?
You can get the code from
http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/
GNOME also provides a build tool to make the installation easier.
But, as it has already been pointed out - Servers are best managed over command line. It will give you more power and control over what you are doing.
I've looked all over and build essentials are all I see that was replaced by Development tools. When I type the command I receive "no such command".
What is the alternative to this?
apt-get build-dep package-i-want-to-build to get everything you need to build package - often the easiest way to get the dev tools is to pick a sufficiently complicated package like pidgin and run this
or
apt-get install build-essential to just get a compiler
Ubuntu doesn't use yum. You still want to use the apt instructions.
Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, etc. have APT package manager, not YUM. In these OSes you generally need to do following to install basic development tools, like C and C++ compilers, binutils, etc:
sudo apt install build-essential
