Cognitive Search with NER and indexer

Question

Hi.
I'm trying to use this tutorial https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/language-service/custom-named-entity-recognition/tutorials/cognitive-search?tabs=Language-studio for using a custom NER model inside Cognitive Search.

Following the very, very detailed tutorial goes great until the very last item on the page, where it seems like the writer became more busy.

We're told to enter this command into the CLI:

indexer index --index-name <name-your-index-here> --configs <absolute-path-to-configs-file>  

I substitute the values as directed and I've updated to the latest CLI, and also attempted to enter the command in the Azure portal. I also tried logging in to Azure first (az login) - all with the same result:
indexer : The term 'indexer' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

Does anyone have any idea? How do I get that command to work?

Thanks for any help!

@CVinter we are updating the experience, you can start using it now here : azure-search-power-skills/Text/CustomNER at main · Azure-Samples/azure-search-power-skills (github.com)

To explore your issue, you will need to download the indexer executable as documented here (CognitiveServicesLanguageUtilities/CustomTextAnalytics.CognitiveSearch at main · microsoft/CognitiveServicesLanguageUtilities (github.com))

After downloading, either:
run tool manually:
open powershell/cmd
cd to your cli tool directory
and run command
run automatically
add the cli tool directory to your PATH environment variable
