Answer 1

I believe the answer given here is really inaccurate so I will answer:

See, when there is an error such as "'env' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" it means that the system is trying to execute a command named env. This has nothing to do at all with setting up your environment variables.

Env is not a command in windows, but in unix. I understand that you have a windows machine though. What you can do is run "git bash". (You could get it by itself but it comes with Heroku's CLI).

This gives you a unix-like environment where the "env" command is supported, and then you can run the actual heroku pg:pull command :)

I hope this helps!
