    The Azure CLI binary is not in your path on Windows. Have you downloaded and installed it on your PC? – Marko E Jul 18 '22 at 12:15
  • C:\Users\iktea>az version { "azure-cli": "2.38.0", "azure-cli-core": "2.38.0", "azure-cli-telemetry": "1.0.6", "extensions": {} } – eku Jul 18 '22 at 13:17
  • Is it the same user as the one that installed the AZ CLI? – Marko E Jul 18 '22 at 13:34

Navigate to the project directory path using power shell and run the command on the power shell.

C:\Users\abc\IdeaProjects\test_devopspipeline\terraform-manifest> $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'; Invoke-WebRequest -Uri aka.ms/installazurecliwindows -OutFile .\AzureCLI.msi; Start-Process msiexec.exe -Wait -ArgumentList '/I AzureCLI.msi /quiet'; rm .\AzureCLI.msi

I was getting this error too, in my case it was a simply that when I ran this

    Provider "azurerm" {
  subscription_id = "${var.subscription_id}"
  tenant_id       = "${var.tenant_id}"
  client_id       = "${var.client_Id}"
  client_secret   = "${var.client_secret}"
  features {}
}

Terraform was not able to capture those values from the .tfvars file, In my particular case, it was a typo on client_Id => (Id) is meant to be id. If you want to set these variables from outside of the .tf files you can check this link out
