How to Install jq on Windows

What is Jq ?

  • Jq is a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor. With Jq, we can slice, filter and map data in the same way as sed, awk and grep commands in Linux OS.

  Download and install Jq
  • Before installing Jq, we first need to download Jq from its official site
  • Now head over to any drive(preferably your system drive or where you like to keep your command line programes).
  • Create a new Folder & name it as you want.
  • Now copy or move the Jq executable you downloaded earlier to this newly created folder.
  • Being inside the folder, click on the address bar and copy the location of the folder.
  • Open Run and type in sysdm.cpl, hit Enter.
  • Click on Advanced -> Environmental Variables
  • Under System Variables, location path and click Edit.
  • Add a semicolon if there is not already and then Paste the location of the folder you copied few moments ago and click OK
That's it. We've successfully installed Jq on our system. If you've got any doubt, let me know in the comment box.
