How to create environment variables and assign values to them with PowerShell.

  1. Run PowerShell as an administrator, then enter the following command:

 

[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Your_Environment_Variable_Here", "your_value_here", "User")

 

·        Make sure to replace 'Your_Environment_Variable_Here' with the appropriate variable name (CONNECTED_ACU_API_PASSWORD, CONNECTED_ACU_API_VENDOR_KEY or CONNECTED_ACU_API_USER_KEY); Also, make sure to replace 'your_value_here' with the respective values for the variables.

  1. You can check if the environment variable was created by running the command below:

 

      echo $env:Your_Environment_Variable_Here

 

  1. Repeat the process for EACH of the necessary environment variables to run the code (CONNECTED_ACU_API_PASSWORD, CONNECTED_ACU_API_VENDOR_KEY, CONNECTED_ACU_API_USER_KEY).

Creating environment variables and assigning values to them in PowerShell is straightforward. You can use the Set-Item cmdlet to create or modify environment variables. Here's how you can do it:

# Set a new environment variable
$env:MY_VARIABLE = "my_value"

# Alternatively, you can use Set-Item cmdlet
Set-Item -Path "Env:MY_VARIABLE" -Value "my_value"

# To verify that the variable has been set
$env:MY_VARIABLE

Replace "MY_VARIABLE" with the name of your variable and "my_value" with the desired value.

If you want to create a system-wide environment variable, you may need to run PowerShell with administrative privileges.
