Tiddly Desktop for windows does not "install" #287

I downloaded tiddlydesktop-win64-v0.0.18.zip but it has no install instructions. Nothing in the zip that looks like an installer. Coworker told me it requires Ruby, too. Is this true? What am I missing here?

Thanks, zielot! After I got it installed I re-ran the "Introducing Tiddly Desktop" https://youtu.be/i3Bggkm7paA and buried in there, after the MAC part is the WINDOW part where nw.exe is executed. Maybe if they had an install.bat with nw.exe it would be nice, since there are 3 other .exe's in there and trying them all does not seem the best way,
