How to get gpg2 installed on cygwin?

I'm trying to install gpg2 on win10

There is no need to install gpg2 using the complicated instructions in the link you have provided.

The gpg2 package is available through the normal Cygwin installer. If you install it using this it will be correctly configured.

  • Run the install program

  • Continue until you get to the "Select Packages" screen

  • Set the "View" to "Full"

  • Set "Search" to "gnupg2"

  • Click the first "Skip" (it will change to the version number 2.1.21-1)

  • Click "Next" to install

As reported by David, GNU Privacy Guard version 2 is available on Cygwin

as last version of 1

The two versions coexist in parallel.
