Problem with installing Node.JS on Windows

Question

I'm trying to install Node.JS on Windows 7 with help of this tutorial. I downloaded Cygwin, installed it. I have installed Python 2.7. After this i downloaded last version of Node.JS in tar.gz. Than I opened cygwin bash and typed this command there:

tar zxvf node<tab>

It unzipped it to directory: node-v0.4.2 But what i need to do if i have python installed?

I tried to type:

make test

and got error message: make: command not found

I will be very grateful for any help!

Did you install all the required packages ? Run setup.exe again and check.

Answer 2

I think the issue might be that the environment variables in Cygwin need to be configured:
