No. It is a shell script, written for bash and relies heavily on the Unix filesystem. It is impossible to make it run on Windows.

Two options, which I have NOT tested or even verified, if the dependencies can be installed - I just know they exist and MIGHT possibly lead to a working environment:

1. Cygwin - just search online for it, but you need at least some knowledge of what the script depends on and what a basic linux system consists of, to get it working -
2. Windows 10 Linux subsystem - dunno how far along that is and what is available.

I myself however won't help anyone in this endeavor since I suspect it will be a bumpy ride.
