Grep is not recognized as command in windows [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to convert a file into txt and sort it. I'm using wget, that I've already installed

wget 'https://bitkeys.work/btc_balance_sorted.csv'
cut -d, -f 1 btc_balance_sorted.csv | grep -v address > public_addresses_sorted.txt

When I enter the above command, it says that grep isn't recognized as a command.

I'm using the Windows command prompt.

You can use the cygwin- it's open-source and will let you use grep.

The cygwin package contains a dll - cygwin.dll and a bunch of Linux utilities compiled for windows, (e.g. cut.exe, grep.exe, etc) that can be used on the cmd prompt or in a batch file.

Of course, you will need to add C:\cygwin\bin to the PATH variable.
