Nowhere. If you're on Windows youtube-dl.exe is a portable standalone application that does not require installation.

Installation means unpacking and configuring files so that a software can be run. For the youtube-dl.exe on Windows, there is no installation required - you can just run it. If you want, move the file youtube-dl.exe to somewhere on your PATH and create a configuration file, but that's all the installation possible, and neither is required.
