Praat on cygwin

Downloading Praat

For FAVE-extract to use Praat, you'll need to download the praatcon executable from the Praat for Windows page under the heading The console Praat (the regular version of Praat, at the top of the page, won't work with FAVE). The current version the last time this page was updated was praatcon5359_win64. If you're not sure whether you need the win32 or win64 version, download the win32 version.

Unzip it into a directory that won't change (so the Desktop may not be a good choice - maybe in a C:\Users\YourUserName\Praatcon folder).

After unzipping praatcon.exe, change its name to praat.exe.

Adding Praat to your path

Either in emacs, vim, or Notepad++, edit your .bash_profile to add the directory where you've placed Praat. If you're using Notepad++, you can find your .bash_profile in C:\cygwin\username\home\.

Add this to the bottom of your bash profile:

export PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/Users/username/Praatcon/
