I downloaded Cygwin for use in a C programming class. I made sure to also

gcc hello.c
bash reponds "no such file or directory."
It would help if you posted the actual command line and response on the
terminal. If gcc was complaining about hello.c missing then it would
give you a more elaborate error message than what you have shown and if
bash was complaining about gcc missing it would say "gcc: command not
found".
And I would ask: "Is gcc on your path?" For example, on my system, which
has gcc installed, the response to "type gcc" is "/usr/bin/gcc". If I
do "type xxx" (some non-existent program) I get "xxx: not found".
Sounds to me like you may need to set up your PATH variable ...
If you're going to be using cygwin, then this should be a somewhat
familiar concept. One typical place to set it up is in your
.bash_profile file in your HOME directory (mine is /home/moss in
the cygwin tree).
