What should my environment variables be when going through the "nRF Connect SDK Tutorial series" if I used Toolchain Manager instead of the Getting Started Assistant

Question

Part 0 of the Tutorial directs the user to use the Getting Started Assistant, but it appears to have been deprecated. 
 So I've used Toolchain Manager instead. 
 
 Part 1 of the Tutorial says to set these environment variables as follows: 
 setx -m ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT "gnuarmemb" 
 setx -m GNUARMEMB_TOOLCHAIN_PATH c:\gnuarmemb 
 But I don't have a c:\gnuarmemb directory (Toolchain Manager didn't create one) so I assume there is some other default values I should use.

 The NCS tutorial has not been updated with information regarding the Toolchain Manager, however, you do not need to set any environment variables when using the Toolchain Manager. The install is a self-contained folder which includes everything except nRF Command Line Tools .

 Please have the Nordic rep contact Technical Support for more information around the Toolchain Manager. 
 
 DBT said: When I try to use "west" this is what I see: 
 Please open the included bash or command prompt in the Toolchain Manager app. Click on the down arrow next to the Open IDE button. This will allow you to use West, just make sure to install Command Line Tools or program your device using the Programmer app also found in the nRF Connect for Desktop.
