How to setup argo cli on windows

[lueenavarro]

I see that there is a file ( argo-windows-amd64 ) for the windows cli here https://github.com/argoproj/argo/release but I cannot find any instruction on how to set it up on windows.

Hi for those wondering, here is how to do it:

1. Rename the argo-windows-amd64 to argo.exe
2. Place it in a folder (eg. C:\argo-cli)
3. Open the environment variables setting and add the folder under System Variables > PATH
4. To test, open cmd and type argo version

Please add the instruction somewhere in the manual. thanks

The core team does not use Windows, so it'd be great if you could share what works for you.

For what it's worth, I placed the downloaded, renamed argo.exe into my C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin folder -- since it was already in the PATH, and in an ideal world I'd have it installed through Chocolatey (which has only an old version) -- and that let me avoid another folder and addition to the PATH. Works beautifully, thanks to @lueenavarro's tip.

Update: the windows .exe is now packaged in a .gz and will need to be extracted via 7-zip or similar. Then follow above.
