Alternativeley you can add the folder that you save the executable file in to your path environment variable.

To do this press win + R and paste in C:\Windows\System32\systempropertiesadvanced.exe and click ok.

This will open the controll panel. Click "Environment Variables" in the bottom right corner.

In system variables, select Path and click "edit". Click new and enter the path to the folder containing the executable file.
