AutoHotkey: Install ahk studio

Hello experts,
I would like to move on ahk studio as I am not fully satisfied with sciTE4AutoHotkey.
I follow instruction and download reference zip file at:
https://github.com/maestrith/AHK-Studio/archive/master.zip
I run ahk file:

However I don't know how to:
1-Open with (by default) .ahk file with ahk studio. Where should I place the AHK-Studio-master folder?

2-I also don't see ahk studio in my programs features.

I supposed that this is due to the fact that it is not a compiled version.
3-I have also the following script which allows me to edit by default .ahk files.

It open by default .ahk file with sciTE4AutoHotkey I would review it to open with ahk studio.

Thank you very much for your feedback Joe.
For the moment I am not fully convinced by ahk studio. Probably because I am accustom to use sciTE4AutoHotkey and I realized that it works not so bad. I also realized that some of my shortcuts keys clash with the one set up by ahk studio.
Additionally, what I was looking is the previous position however I don't get this on ahk studio.
As regards edit file based on extension AutoHotkey.
I would like to extend to files witch finished with .vbs.
vbsedit.exe exists at:
C:\Program Files\Vbsedit\vbsedit.exe
The following adjustment is enough?

If (FileExt="ahk")
 Run,%SciTE4exe% %FileSelected%
Else
If (FileExt="vbs")
 Run,%vbsedit.exe% %FileSelected%
Else
 Run,%NPPexe% %FileSelected%
Return

Thank you for your help.
