Can someone explain, step by step, along with all software I must use for using Windows command prompt to build an Arduino sketch (.ino file )?

I've followed these steps but I can't.

See the examples at the end of the link that Federico gave eg example only: Compile and upload a sketch to an Arduino Nano, with an Atmega168 CPU, connected on port /dev/ttyACM0: arduino --board arduino:avr:nano:cpu=atmega168 --port /dev/ttyACM0 --upload /path/to/sketch/sketch.ino –  Russell McMahon Mar 3 at 10:56

You said "I can't": can you clarify what you tried, what you expected andwhat you got? –  jfpoilpret Mar 3 at 12:32

The command line interface of the Arduino IDE is described in this document

https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/blob/master/build/shared/manpage.adoc

For example, this command will compile and upload the Blink example to my Arduino Leonardo

./arduino --upload --board arduino:avr:leonardo --port /dev/ttyACM0 --verbose examples/01.Basics/Blink/Blink.ino

Foot note: with IDE 1.6.0, there is an experimental version of the IDE for recent MacOSXs. It doesn't yet support the command line. If you need the command line on Mac, use the recommended version. This will be fixed with 1.6.1
