To install Make and Doxygen just run in the command promp or powershell (with administrative privileges)

choco install make doxygen.install

and follow the installation steps (basically, type Y when required). Finally, add the installation directory (default is C:\Program Files\doxygen\bin) to the environment variable PATH. To check the installation, just use in the command prompt (you need to open a new terminal)

doxygen -v

make -v
