Github: https://desktop.github.com/
OpenSSL Lib: https://github.com/crypt0inf0/OpenSSL-Win64
Let's get started,
Install NodeJS, Python, MongoDB, Github respectively.
Install vs build tool simply by,
Open command prompt as administrator
Run

git clone https://github.com/crypt0inf0/OpenSSL-Win64
Git clone avalon & install npm packages.
cd C:\Users\{Your username}\Downloads\dtube
gitclone https://github.com/dtube/avalon

Download the last entry with respect to the present date (ie. 23.tar.gz 22-May-2021 23:03 is the latest entry)
Go to avalon folder and create a new folder and name it as dump
Copy "23.tar.gz" in to dump folder and extract it here
Go back to software folder and unzip MongoDB Database Tools

Type
.\mongorestore.exe -d avalon ./
It will import dtube(avalon) blockchain from shapshot, It will take 5 to 10 minutes
Once the import is complete
