An Easy Way to Add Anaconda PowerShell Prompt on the Windows Terminal

Windows Terminal with Anaconda PowerShell makes Anaconda much more convenient

I wrote 5 posts on how to install the Windows Terminal, and how to add Anaconda Prompt and Anaconda PowerShell Prompt on Windows right-click menu and Windows Terminal at the very beginning when I just started writing on Medium. I had to reinstall Apps and set their environments on my new PC. A new way was found to easily add Anaconda PowerShell Prompt on the Windows Terminal. You can use this one instead of the old method if you have not done that or set it on a new computer. I would like to divide into the following steps.
