Hi, the MQTTX CLI on Windows doesn't automatically configure the PATH environment variable during installation. You have two options:

1. Manual PATH Configuration:

   • Find your MQTTX installation directory
   • Add it to the System PATH manually

2. Recommended Easier Method:
   Install via npm globally (this handles PATH configuration automatically):

   npm install mqttx-cli -g

   This will make mqttx command available globally in your terminal.

3. Docker instead, which provides a more consistent and reliable way to run MQTTX CLI across different platforms, including Windows ARM64:

   # Pull the official MQTTX CLI image
   docker pull emqx/mqttx-cli
   
   # Run MQTTX CLI
   docker run -it --rm emqx/mqttx-cli

The npm global installation is recommended as it's more straightforward and handles the PATH configuration automatically.
