Its my first time working with cygwin so bear with me please.

I need to install a processing library via cygwin in order for it to work. I followed all the steps in this tutorial and in the last step (00:22 seconds mark) I need to "cp" LeapMotion to the directory where Processing stores it's librarys.

I store mine in "D:\Processing Sketches\libraries" and i don't know how to copy it there. I'm confused with the ~/home/ part. I tried "$ cp -R LeapMotion /D:/Processing\ Sketches/libraries/" but that doesnt work :/

Under cygwin DOS drive letters are mapped to /cygdrive/<drive>, so you would do it like this:

$ cp -R LeapMotion /cygdrive/d/Processing\ Sketches/libraries/
