That program is apparently written in TypeScript. You are therefore not going to find a compiled binary.

The README says that it can be installed via

$ npm install -g vgm-conv

It would of course have been helpful to tell people who are less familiar with that kind of thing that NPM is a package manager.
I.e. you have to install the NPM package manager and then install the desired piece of software via the package manager.

It's very simple really, just install node.js (you only need the core, not the extras the installer will offer), then unzip the github package and use the npm install command from widows command line.

Btw, I don't think this will work on anything older than Win7.
