I get the following error during activation of the Wolfram Engine:

wolframscript                                                                                                                ✔
The Wolfram Engine requires one-time activation on this computer.

I do not know how to troubleshoot this error. How should I proceed?

Is there an alternative activation method for Wolfram Engine?
