                    1What do you mean by "install posix"? POSIX is an API and command standard, not software. – outis Jul 19 '12 at 11:04

        Cygwin provides a POSIX sort of environment for Windows. Another option would be to use a VM tool like VirtualBox (free) and run linux in a virtual machine.
