install Raspbian from .img on windows

Question

I just download a .img file, and formatted my SD card. Now, what should I do in order to install the distribution on the card for raspberry boot?

You don't tell us which .img you downloaded or what you've already tried.

Or you could try NOOBS instead, that's another way to do it and very very easy. Just unpack the zip to the sd card. See here.

Simply use WinDiskImager. Just select your file and drive and hit write.
