You can do that with Postman Client chrome extension. Install extension and provide details like below;

And click send button. Important point here;

-H will be sent in header fields,

-u needs to be convert like below and send s in header;

Authorization: Basic base64_encode(username:password) in your case it will be;

-d will be sent as url-form-encoded form.

Alternatively you can perform this action by using Git Bash. Install Git Bash from here

curl and tar were added natively to Windows 10 Insider build 17063. For older version of windows it's still possible to install curl on Windows manually.
