Jq installation error

Question

I am using windows 10 home. I tried to install jq from https://stedolan.github.io/jq/download/.

Downloaded jq-win64.exe file, but when i open it, it just opens and closes instantly . I want to run a .sh file which requires jq installed . Any help here.

After obtaining jq.exe (by whatever means), you would normally run it from a batch script or from the Windows command line. See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Win32_console

You may find it easier to use jq if you let "choco" install it for you (choco install jq).

To install choco is quite straightforward: https://chocolatey.org/install
