Tried the tutorial in
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/topbeat/current/topbeat-getting-started.html

Keep getting the error after

Command:
PS C:\Users\Admin\Downloads\topbeat-1.1.0-windows> Invoke-WebRequest -Method Put -InFile topbeat.template.json -Uri http://localhost:9200/_template/topbeat?pretty

Error:
Get-Process : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'Invoke-WebRequest'.
