title: How to install ninja-build for C++
body: <p><a href="https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases</a></p>
  
  <p>I have downloaded the ninja-win.zip folder and extracted it. When I open it, there is a single .exe file in the entire folder. When I double click it a cmd window flashes for a split second. I have also tried running it as administrator, but the same thing happens. What I don't understand is, what am I expected to do with this .exe file?</p>
