After deploying midtier environment on windows attempt to apply customizations failing with the error:The term 'puppet' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function

After creating the psft_customizations.yaml file, when I tried to run the puppet apply site.pp --debug --trace command on windows power shell. I received a message saying that the term "puppet" is not recognized when running this command.

PS C:\DPK_INSTALL\setup> cd ../..
PS C:\> cd C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\etc\manifests
PS C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\etc\manifests> puppet apply site.pp --debug --trace
puppet : The term 'puppet' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

It is due to the fact that the Puppet software is not included in the system's path. To set the Puppet environment, we need to run the command puppet_shell.bat:

PS C:\> cd '.\Program Files'
PS C:\Program Files> cd '.\Puppet Labs'
PS C:\Program Files\Puppet Labs> cd .\Puppet
PS C:\Program Files\Puppet Labs\Puppet> cd bin
PS C:\Program Files\Puppet Labs\Puppet\bin> ls

    Directory: C:\Program Files\Puppet Labs\Puppet\bin

Execute the command puppet_shell.bat on windows power shell.

This will set the Puppet software in system's path.

After executing the above command you need to restart the windows power shell with Administrator Option.
Open a Windows PowerShell window(with Administrater Option)
a. Select Start, and navigate to Windows PowerShell.
b. Right-click and select Run as Administrator.

And then re-execute the command puppet apply site.pp --debug --trace.
