Deploy-FinOpsHub PowerShell Deployment Requires Azure Bicep in PATH

[AErmie]

🐛 Problem

When attempting to deploy the FinOps Hub using PowerShell, an error is thrown if Azure Bicep is not in the PATH.

Error

 Cannot retrieve the dynamic parameters for the cmdlet. Cannot find Bicep. Please add Bicep to your PATH or visit https://aka.ms/bicep-install to install Bicep.

👣 Repro steps

1. Run PowerShell v7
2. Install module Az.Accounts
3. Install module Az.Resources
4. Install module FinOpsToolkit
5. Run the Deploy-FinOpsHub PowerShell command

🤔 Expected

Deployment of the FinOps Hub should complete without error. If Azure Bicep is required to execute the PowerShell commands, it should be mentioned in the documentation.

📷 Screenshots

Note

The screenshot shows that I'm trying to install v0.6 of the FinOps Toolkit, due to multiple issues with 0.7.
