As a newbie to everything coding related, I don't understand what to do with the precompiled file.

It's an application binary that you need to run from within a terminal/shell environment. Are you a Windows user, or Mac/Linux?

I see, I thought I would have an exe file.

I am a Windows user.

Give release binaries file extensions

This may make it more clear to users that these are precompiled, binary
files. This is especially relevant on Windows, where the convention is
that executable files have a .exe` extension, as seen in #49.

I've made sure release artifacts on Windows have a .exe extension going forward, which hopefully helps future users avoid this confusion.
