Do you still need Cygwin for it? or is it available now from the NuGet repos (chocolatey). Is it why you need to install the Python dependencies?

You don't need cygwin but you'll need to install python. After that the package manager does its job of collecting all other dependencies

Also the youtube-dl devs provide windows executable i.e. an exe and you can run it from powershell or cmd

Cool. I didn't know that. I haven't used Windows in a while. I'll update the article. Thanks
