AWS Lightsail plugin not found when using push-container-image

Question

I am trying to push a docker image to an AWS Lightsail container using the AWS CLI with the Lightsail plugin.

When I do the following:

`aws lightsail push-container-image --service-name XXXX --image YYYYY --label latest`

I get:

`The Lightsail Control (lightsailctl) plugin was not found. To download and install it, see https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-install-software`.

However, when I do the following:

`aws lightsail push-container-image --service-name XXXX --image YYYYY`

`aws lightsail push-container-image --service-name XXXX --label YYYYY`

`aws lightsail push-container-image --label XXXX --image YYYYY`

I get:

`usage: aws [options]   [ ...] [parameters]
To see help text, you can run:

aws help
  aws  help
  aws   help

aws.exe: error: the following arguments are required: --service-name`

When I do this:

`aws lightsail push-container-image --service-name datafli --image yshimizu14/doc_proceffssor:aws_latest --label latest --bogus what`

I get:

`Unknown options: --bogus,what`

AWS and Lightsail are clearly installed, but for some reason push-container-image it doesn't want to take a third argument. Any ideas as to why?

AWS CLI version: aws-cli/2.4.15 Python/3.8.8 Windows/10 exe/AMD64 prompt/off

Hi, were you able to resolve this issue with AWS CLI invoking `lightsailctl` plugin?

Is `lightsailctl` in your `PATH`?

You can check like this (assuming from your post that you're on Windows):
```
where lightsailctl
```

If it isn't in the `PATH`, it is likely you need to try again and follow instructions here:

To summarize, you will end up with `lightsailctl.exe` executable stored in some directory on your PC. Let's say it is in `C:\Lightsail\`directory. 
Ensure it is added your `PATH`. And then do this check:
```
> where lightsailctl
C:\Lightsail\lightsailctl.exe
```

If the check works, your first command should start working.
