Environment Setup Guide

This guide explains how to set up your environment variables and install project dependencies.

Setting up .env file

1. Create a new file named .env in your project's root directory
2. Copy the contents below into your .env file, replacing the placeholder values with your actual credentials:

# API Keys
API_KEY=your_api_key
SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key

Important: Never commit your .env file to version control. Make sure it's listed in your .gitignore file.

Installing Requirements

1. Install the requirements using pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Troubleshooting

• If you encounter permission errors during installation, try using:

  pip install --user -r requirements.txt

• Make sure all environment variables in the .env file are properly set before running the application
• Verify that your virtual environment is activated (you should see (venv) in your terminal prompt)

Additional Notes

• Keep your .env values secure and never share them publicly
