It's recommended you use [Vercel Environment Variables](https://vercel.com/docs/projects/environment-variables) for this, but a `.env` file is all that is necessary. > Note: You should not commit your `.env` file or it will expose secrets that will allow others to control access to your various OpenAI and authentication provider accounts. 1. Install Vercel CLI: `npm i -g vercel` 2. Link local instance with Vercel and GitHub accounts (creates `.vercel` directory): `vercel link` 3. Download your environment variables: `vercel env pull` ```bash pnpm install pnpm dev ``` Your app template should now be running on [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000/).
