Error while running Cygwin; can't run the command [top]

I'm using Cygwin and when I type top on the command line I get:

$ top

-bash: top: command not found

I had a similar problem with nano but resolved it by running the installation executable again with the nano package. I'm wondering if I will encounter this again with other commands. What can I do to remedy this?
