How do I install Terraformer on my Windows machine?

Question

I have gone through some online blogs, can someone explain how in the world should I install terraformer on my machine? There is no exe file or anything. I have followed blogs online, have no idea where I am going wrong, it just doesn't show up in the cmd. Would be a great help!! Thanks! Blogs I don't understand:
