Cannot log in, perhaps variable not set

[nia-prene]

Hello! I am excited to use this, but can't seem to log in. I am using Windows 10, Powershell. I downloaded the latest release, not the new beta. We have a local version of Jira, and we use active directory for our user accounts. I think I am having trouble actually setting an environment variable. I have tried setting the environment variable in the following ways:

PS C:\> $JIRA_API_TOKEN = 'mypassword'
PS C:\> $ENV:JIRA_API_TOKEN = 'mypassword
PS C:\> [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('JIRA_API_TOKEN', 'mypassword', 'Machine')

and when I run the init:

PS C:\> jira init --debug
? Installation type: Local
? Link to Jira server: [? for help] https://jira.mycompany.org/

? Link to Jira server: https://jira.mycompany.org/
? Login username: [? for help] [email protected]

? Login username: [email protected]

I get the error

GET /rest/api/2/myself HTTP/1.1
Host: jira.mycompany.org
Authorization: Basic super_long_string_of_characters_not_resembling_mypassword

any thoughts? I know it is trying my account because I have been having to clear login attempts to bypass captchas all day. I think it is the variable, perhaps I am confused as to what I set this variable to.
Thank you so much!

EDIT: formatting

Ok I solved this issue. You MUST add the variable to the profile
vim $profile Opens profile path in vim
$JIRA_API_TOKEN = "mypassword/myAPIToken"
Reset the terminal window

I am getting used to powershell, I am so used to bash.
