Can't install marvel on Windows 10

Installed Elasticsearch verson 6 this morning, that part went well. The next step in the tutorial I am following says to install Marvel, that's not going so well. On the official "Getting Started with Marvel" it says to run this command:
bin/plugin install license

This results in this error message:
'bin' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

So I try this:
bin\plugin install license

And now I get this error message:
'bin\plugin' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Then I start to poke around and see that there is no plugin.bat in the bin folder, but there is elasticsearch-plugin.bat, so I tried to use that, like this:
elasticsearch-plugin install license

and I get this error message:
commands

list - Lists installed elasticsearch plugins
install - Install a plugin
remove - removes a plugin from Elasticsearch

Non-option arguments:
command

Option Description


-h, --help show help
-s, --silent show minimal output
-v, --verbose show verbose output
ERROR: Unknown plugin license

Is Marvel actually a real thing? Is it possible to install on Windows 10 with the standard command prompt? Are there instructions anywhere that actually show the real steps that it takes to install Marvel, or is this based purely on tribal knowledge?

You must be using an old tutorial. Marvel is no longer a separate plugin. The functionality is now part of X-Pack.
