You will have to be more descriptive than that if you expect help.

I want to install SRA toolkit on win 10 and convert for example SRR066194.3 to fastq format. but in first step cofronted with this error: 'Downloads:\' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I searched and found that maybe SRA toolkit isnt be installed. so I asked what is the next step after Downloading SRA toolkit?

I recommend you do it in a unix system.

There are precompiled binaries for all major operating systems available from the NCBI download page. There is no need to "install" in terms of compile anything.

=> Alternatively, search for your data at sra-explorer.info and download it directly with the generated download links as fastq either via ftp or Aspera. That is way less of a pain than fiddling with the awful sratoolkit.

sra-explorer : find SRA and FastQ download URLs in a couple of clicks
