Open Git Bash in windows
Run the following commands
Create .oci Directory
nadeem@nadeem-LAP MINGW64 ~
$ mkdir ~/.oci
Generate Private key
nadeem@nadeem-LAP MINGW64 ~
$ openssl genrsa -out ~/.oci/oci_api_key.pem 2048
Generating RSA private key, 2048 bit long modulus

Add the public key to OCI
The public key needs to be added to your user account in the OCI console.
Copy the public key
nadeem@nadeem-LAP MINGW64 ~/.oci
$ clip < ~/.oci/oci_api_key_public.pem
Paste the key, copied above.
