That said, consider Cygwin as like an integrated and interoperable Windows hosted Linux distro with over 12k packages, including many from GNU and most of the important ones, and X.org X Window servers, with many popular X Window desktop environments available, and many X Window GUI client applications. Just follow the instructions to download and run the Windows GUI Cygwin Setup program (developed and built using Cygwin tools), choose packages you might use on Linux to do your work, let the installer complete, and use the shortcuts to start using X Window GUI desktops, clients, terminal emulators, and setup daemons to run as Windows services. Importantly for your type of use case: cron, HDF4/5, sqlite, Berkeley DB, Maria DB, PostGres pgsql, Apache httpd, and PHP are available, and any Windows native program can be run under a Cygwin console or launched in a window. -- Take care.
