First, google sts.

Click Tools-Spring.

Here is the link in case you cannot find it.

Download the one that matches your OS(operating system).

Move the downloaded file to where you want to store it.

I saved it in the E drive.

The name of the jar file for me is as follow.

spring-tool-suite-4-4.8.0.RELEASE-e4.17.0-win32.win32.x86_64.self-extracting.jar

To install, open your cmd(window).

You will see the following command.

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.1082] (c) 2019 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.  
C:\Users\admin>

Type

e: 

after

C:\Users\admin>

It will look like

C:\Users\admin>e:

This will change the path to E drive

E:\>

than type

E:\>java -jar

and type the file name of the download file, which is

spring-tool-suite-4-4.8.0.RELEASE-e4.17.0-win32.win32.x86_64.self-extracting.jar

By pressing the tab, you can auto-complete the file name.

I typed

spring- 

and pressed tab to auto-complete.

It will look like this.

E:\>java -jar spring-tool-suite-4-4.8.0.RELEASE-e4.17.0-win32.win32.x86_64.self-extracting.jar

Press enter and the installation will begin.
