For Windows, you can set enviroment variables temporarily in your cmd or powershell session like this:

cmd

SET AWS_PROFILE=myProfile

Powershell

Set-Item -Path Env:AWS_PROFILE -Value myProfile

If you wish to permanently set the environment variable, you can use the following command in either cmd or powershell. You’ll have to close and reopen a new session to use it.

setx AWS_PROFILE "myProfile"

I am not aware of a way to set the environment variable to use for only one command. If anyone knows a way, let me know.
