The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/install-binaries.html
Description:

Installing software from ZIP archive is a common practice, pgsql provides
such archive, but doesn't provide instructions on what to do with it.
These pages don't have such instruction or links to such instruction even
though it would be natural for them to belong there:
https://www.postgresql.org/download/
https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/
https://www.enterprisedb.com/download-postgresql-binaries
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/install-binaries.html
https://www.postgresqltutorial.com/postgresql-getting-started/install-postgresql/
https://www.postgresqltutorial.com/?s=zip+archive (nothing found)
https://www.postgresqltutorial.com/?s=binaries (nothing found)
In actual archive:
.\pgsql\doc\installation-notes.html
.\pgsql

Please provide an instruction on this matter and add links to it to
reasonable places across your web and documentation pages. Expected use case
is:
1. download zip archive
2. Unzip it
3. ???
4. Execute SQL, like: `select now();`
