Where does Intellij install kotlin (windows directory path), when the plugin is installed.

I want to run kotlinc from windows command line, is that possible

If you want to run Kotlinc then there is no need for intelij, you just need to install Kotlin compiler in computer which you can download from GitHub/IntelliJ and run in windows command line

I do use IDE anyway, and as IDE does install kotlin with kotlin plugin enabled, thought I can use the same kotlin from CLI.

Thank You.
