Description
Maybe I'm not technical enough to understand the user-guide for installing on windows machine
`Extract the zip file and make sure that watchman.exe is located in a directory that is in your PATH`
The first part I understand zip the file however the second part I don't understand
**located in a directory that is in your PATH**
What does it mean? Why not just release it as a npm module that you can install cli globally on your machine. Doing stuff manually like this `located in a directory that is in your PATH` does not make any sense it just doesn't. It's not user-friendly
Why I'm asking this is that there are a lot of packages/plugins that rely on this or build on top of it like `GraphQL language service` or the `flow-language-server`.
