(Constructive feedback, nothing negative here).

This step gave me a lot of problems. In the end you just have to enter the command as one line, but I did not know this. I ended up making a ps1 file. Then I had the problem of running that as administrator.

Then there was this incorrect answer: https://superuser.com/questions/108207/how-to-run-a-powershell-script-as-administrator

All by all, it would be worth mentioning that you have to enter the command as one line.

Personally I think this is much easier:

press the windows key on your keyboard, type "envi..."

environment

env2

env3

env4

Sure this takes more space, but I think it is more user friendly. Maybe you can collapse things in your webdesign?

You could make a PR, although PATH differs between OS and describing every OS might not be the nicest thing to do. Is there a good link that explains this for most major OSes?
