Navigate to Project Settings/Service accounts/Firebase Admin SDK and generate a new private key.

Set the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to the file path of the JSON file that contains your generated private key

$env:GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="<PathToGeneratedPrivateKey>"

In your firebase functions index.ts file initialise the admin sdk.

admin.initializeApp({
    credential: admin.credential.applicationDefault(),
    databaseURL: "https://dev-knowledge-book.firebaseio.com"
});
