Actual Result

I have successfully followed all the steps. However, I am getting below error in last step

$ inv docker.up  --init
'INIT' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I am working on Windows 10. Docker and other requirements are installed.

Is there any other way if inv docker.up --init is not working ?

Expected Result

http://localhost:9000/ should be accessible

@vishallanke the steps are meant for Linux, I just opened #8494 to clarify that.

The 'INIT' is not recognized as an internal or external command, message seems to come from cmd.exe, which means that you are running the steps in a Windows terminal, not a Linux-like terminal. To confirm, you can attach a screenshot that shows the whole window.

When you have WSL2 up and running, you should run these instructions from inside WSL2, which gives you a Bash terminal on an Ubuntu-like system. You can read more on the Ubuntu docs.
