Sleuthkit Error to uncompress file "tar xvfz sleuthkit-4.12.0.tar.gz "

[GDRPrint]

Win 10, Installing Sleuthkit v 4.12.0
Cygwin and Autopsy installed and working
Sleuthkit zip downloaded and extracted in Cygwin64/usr/local, renamed to remove -win32,
now in cygwin64/usr/local/ sleuthkit-4.12.0
Path added to System variables
C:\Program Files (x86)\sleuthkit-4.12.0\sleuthkit-4.12.0\bin

Using command tar xvfz sleuthkit-4.12.0.tar.gz gives following error:

"Name"@DESKTOP-K7B5JA6 /usr/local
$ tar xvfz sleuthkit-4.12.0.tar.gz
tar (child): sleuthkit-4.12.0.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Any help much appreciated.
Thank you for reading.
I neglected to add : trying to use any Sleuthkit command in the command line, or return a version info, yields no results.
In linux, of course, it works fine ,,,,

If you are using windows 10, is there a reason you are not using the MSI file to automatically install Autopsy?

Thanks Mark for posting, I have Autopsy installed and Cygwin terminal. I could not get the autopsy-develop ( Github ) download to run,

Since it is Cygwin you can use windows to Download it and the. Run they Cygwin. The only reason I see someone wanted to use source is that they either want to do development work or that they want a specific feature that is between releases.

I have not been able to download and run it under windows, as I was describing above.
As I'm working with a group of ntfs drives, it would be helpful to run it under windows, instaed of Linux.
Thanks for posting your thoughts.
