Unless I am terribly mistaken, flow-tools can only operate on UNIX-like 
systems. Since Windows != UNIX (yet), you cannot install it on Windows :))

for your favorite Linux distro:
  1. get RPM package (either binary or source) from
     http://cng.ateneo.net/cng/wyu/software/flow-tools.php
  2. rpm -i <flow-tools-package.rpm>

for FreeBSD:
  1. get ports system (e.g. via cvsup)
  2. cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/flow-tools && make install
  (or install via binary pkg)

for any other UNIX-like system:
  1. get flow-tools source code from
     http://www.splintered.net/sw/flow-tools/
  2. tar xfz flow-tools-0.68.tar.gz
  3. cd flow-tools-0.68 && ./configure && make && make install
