# Museum Analytics # ## ⚙️ Configuration Setup This project uses environment variables to secure sensitive information. Follow these steps to configure your local environment: 1. **Duplicate the template file:** Copy the `.env.example` file and rename it to `.env` in the root directory. ```bash cp .env.example .env ``` 2. **Update your keys:** Open the newly created `.env` file in your text editor and replace the placeholder values with your actual credentials: ```text WIKIPEDIA_USER_AGENT="MuseumAnalytics/0.1 (your_email_address)" ``` ⚠️ **Important:** Never commit your `.env` file to Git. It is already added to `.gitignore` to protect your secrets.
