Please let me know I am using correct path to run this? Or there is any other way to do this.(FYI I am using Windows)

No, the path is wrong.
The command must be run from the directory with languagetool.jar

I searched for the directory with languagetool.jar, But didn’t find it in this project
Steps followed-

  1. Cloned the languagetool project.
  2. Build this.
  3. Run command

java -cp languagetool.jar org.languagetool.tools.SpellDictionaryBuilder -i en_GB.txt -info en_GB.info -o Englist_output.dict

Please let me know is this the correct step or did I miss something? I tried to find the languagetool.jar in the project where I add language-all as maven dependency but couldn’t find it.

The file languagetool.jar needs other folders. If you move the file, you need to move all the folders.
From the LanguageTool parent directory, you should run:
java -cp ./languagetool-standalone/target/LanguageTool-5.7-SNAPSHOT/LanguageTool-5.7-SNAPSHOT/languagetool.jar ......
