How to install open policy agent on windows?

Question

How to install OPA in windows ? When I double click on exe it says that install using command prompt. But there is no command I found to install OPA.

I want to integrate OPA with Visual Studio code editor, and evaluate policies from VS. I followed steps in https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tsandall.opa but getting empty output while evaluating query as OPA is not installed.

OPA ships as a self contained executable - there is no need (nor option) to install it, but putting the binary in your $PATH will help if commonly run. A bash like shell like git bash will most likely help even more.
