You can install archiver instead of adding command in Windows cmd.exe, There only 10 step to install and create .tar.gz file: 1. Open: https://www.win-rar.com/download.html or https://www.7-zip.org/download.html 2. Download Winrar Installer. 3. Open Winrar Installer. 4. Click "Agree" on Agreement. 5. Install Winrar. 6. Wait until Winrar fully installed in your computer. 7. Open file you want to compress with .gz 8. Right click the file. 9. Click "Add to Archive", and 10. Done. But, if you still want to add command in Windows cmd.exe you can use that Cygwin. Tutorial link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb8qtbXGA6I
