Update:

The project has not been updated in some time. You may find WSL2 a good free alternative.


Below you can download some Linux tools that have been compiled for Windows care of the GnuWin32 project. These are some common tools I use on Linux all the time and find very useful for use on Windows as well.

I grabbed most of the builds from the GnuWin32 project. I prefer to use just this minimum set of tools instead of installing lots of packages from the GnuWin32. I also don't use the Cygwin set because you have to manage conflicts with the cygwin.dll.

The current assembly date for these packages is July 31, 2017.
