I suspect you have a windows version of python ahead of the cygwin version in the path. At least that is how it looks from the output of "cygcheck -s -v -r" you provided. To confirm, please issue the following commands in your cygwin terminal window: python --version pip --version git --version The following commands may also help to confirm this and find the executables you need to use: which -a python which -a pip which -a git /usr/bin/python --version /usr/bin/pip --version /usr/bin/git --version Also, note that Python 3.6 on cygwin is named python3 and it uses pip3 for installing packages.
