Azure Batch Node Start Task fails

Question

I am following MSFT docs and trying to set the following start task (copied from the official documentation): cmd /c "pip install azure-storage-blob pandas"

I keep receiving the error message that the task program is not found. I found a relevant post in which an accepted solution was to create a new pool programmatically, but I wonder if there is a way to make it work via UX as the documentaion suggests.

Any help or advice is highly appreciated
