Edit PATH variable using command line in Windows 10

Question

I was trying to edit the %PATH% variable using command line in Windows 10, following the Edit %PATH% Variable in Windows 10 tutorial, but pathman/au was not recognized.

What should be the right approach to do that?

pathman /au C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-16 'pathman'
is not recognized as an interval or external command, operable program or batch file.

In order to use this tool you need to install Windows resource kit tools ‘pathman.exe‘

Alternatively you can use this directly on the command line:

setx path "%path%;c:\directoryPath"

To add a new path variable to the %path% script. (You can use the option /M for system PATH variable)
