Download the files from GitHub, add index.htm to the TiddlyWiki folder, and then run node-webkit with start X:\path\to\nw.exe --url="%cd%\index.htm" (in a batch file).

Or for Electron, download both electron.js and index.html and put them in the root TiddlyWiki folder (i.e. beside tiddlywiki.js). Then open command prompt and run /path/to/electron.exe electron.js index.html.
