not able to install boost library for c++ in windows

Question

I am trying to install boost library for c++ in windows. I am using a GCC compiler. I searched for it on the internet but everywhere the only installation of boost library in visual studio is given. I found somewhere to go to boost/tools/build and then to run bootstrap.sh, but the following error is being shown:

C:\Program Files\boost_1_73_0\tools\build>bootstrap.sh The system cannot execute the specified program.

How should I resolve this issue?

here is instruction to install boost on windows. File you want to open is shell script (probably taken from Linux instructions), which generally should not be called on Windows. Use bootstrap.bat instead.
