  Try blockMesh.exe
  
  If it fails post output of 'ls -l' command here

  I tried blockMesh.exe
  
  The same error repeats on the console. Although, I will go home and then post the output of "ls -l" here. What does it do?
  
  Why do you think cygwin64 is giving this error?

  ls -l command is used for long file listing. I just want to know the files in directory from where you're executing blockMesh.exe command.

  I think its giving that error because you're not in correct directory. You need to locate where blockMesh executable exist, then cd to that directory and then execute blockMesh.exe
  
  Have you followed all steps mentioned in part 4 of the link you attached ?

  I think I did it correctly. Although I am not a 100% sure because of this doubt:
  
  mkdir -p /home/michael/OpenFOAM/michael-2.3.x/run
  
  this creates a directory at the following location
  
  /home/michael/OpenFOAM/michael-2.3.x/run
  
  what does "home" mean here? Is it the location of the Cygwin64 installation on my C: drive?
  
  Cygwin is installed at this location:
  
  C:/cygwin64

  /home is one of the directory of Linux Filesystem. It's basically the location for user's personal data. One can store anyting in /home directory, there is no restrictions.
  
  
  I don't know how to locate /home using Cygwin in Windows. I haven't used it. Sorry, mate.

  Check in which directory you are (type pwd and press enter), as per the link u shared, you should be in cavity directory.
  Hope it helps. 😀
