 * I am new to using Azure and would like to use your plugin to back it up to Azure,
   but I am not sure what commands to use for the creation of the storage account
   using CLI, could you please help?
 * Thanks

 * [@twistsd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/twistsd/) Thanks for the question.
 * Have you followed the [user guide](https://github.com/10up/windows-azure-storage/blob/develop/UserGuide.md#configure-microsoft-azure-storage-account)
   to get the plugin installed and setup with Azure?
 * Once things are setup correctly, you can use WP-CLI to create the container, 
   if that’s what you’re trying to do. The command is:
 * `wp windows-azure-storage container-create CONTAINER_NAME`

 * I typed the following command: wp windows-azure-storage container-create website_backup,
   and then got the following response: wp: The term ‘wp’ is not recognized as a
   name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
   Check the spelling
   of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try
   again.
