You are right, the instructions in the README are not exactly detailed. The submodule command requires you to first clone the repository, something like
git clone https://github.com/jibsen/pngquant-winbuild
cd pngquant-winbuild
git submodule update --init --recursive
This just downloads the source, you then have to build it using some kind of GCC compiler toolchain (for instance mingw-w64 or MSYS2), the make command may be called mingw32-make
, gmake
, or plain make
.
The releases on this repository have precompiled Win64 binaries, and I believe the pngquant website has up-to-date binaries as well.

Usually "installing" a command line tool consists of either placing it in a folder that is on the path, or modifying the path to include where the executable is placed. I realize this all appears somewhat archaic.
Another option is to install pngquant using a package manager (like Chocolatey or Scoop), which should take care of things like setting up the path.

Does that mean we can install the program on Windows with with the Win64 binary? Or it runs standalone with that binary and we somehow have to associate that binary with the program that needs to use it (MKDocs in this case)?
I checked the pngquant site https://pngquant.org/ and I see they have a windows binary
under Command-line
, but no instructions on how to install/use it. I downloaded theirs and checked the readme
but it only has info on how to use it on its own; no info on how to use it with another program like MKDocs.
