Hi, i have problems when i want to check if i had success in the installation.  
When i execute the command that corresponds to the step 4, de cmd doesn’t find any directory.

Step 4  
Verify the installation by executing the `ares –V` command. If the installation is successful, you will see the version of webOS TV CLI as a result.

```auto
$ ares -V
webOS TV CLI Version: 1.12.4-j27

```

instead of this its tells me ‘ares’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,  
operable program or batch file.

The CLI directory must be located under the webOS\_TV\_SDK directory. Please check the example of environment variable LG\_WEBOS\_TV\_SDK\_HOME and file tree [here](https://webostv.developer.lge.com/develop/tools/cli-installation#step4). Thank you.

If you are on Windows 11 you may need to add to entry in your Path Environment variables point to your webOS\_TV\_SDK\_CLI\bin

The installer didn’t set up an associated path environment variable for windows. I had to manually add it.
