Not able to launch heroku cli on cygwin

As I don't have admin rights on my laptop, so downloaded the zip version of heroku CLI for deploying my app. When I execute the cmd from the bin path of the heroku it's launching and working fine, but when trying to launch from cygwin it's not working. Followed below workaround as I thought path issues, symlinks issues

.bash_profile

#Setting the heroku path on the cygwin
    export PATH=$PATH:"/cygdrive/c/Django/heroku/bin/heroku"

    export CYGWIN="winsymlinks:native"
    cd C:/cygdrive && rm -rf c && ln -s -v C:/ c


.bashrc

alias heroku="/cygdrive/c/Django/heroku/bin/heroku"

which are suggested in the SO, but not helpful and I'm getting below error when trying to execute $ heroku in cygwin..

$ heroku
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:983
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\cygdrive\c\Django\heroku\bin\run'

}

Note: I'm able to launch heroku from GIT bash and CMD

Solution

  • whole time I was adding wrong files to the path and also executing them, Extracted zip folder of heroku contains following files

    Extracted zip folder of heroku contains following files

    So, what I did..? copied the full path of bin including heroku.cmd file and pasted in the below file ".bashrc" as alias. 

    .bashrc  

alias heroku="/cygdrive/c/Django/heroku/bin/heroku.cmd"

    as heroku.cmd file is a script file and it contains set of commands for the heroku.

    and I'm able to login to heroku and create app as well.
