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.
