For Windows Users

In the coming lecture, we create and open a file using a Mac (UNIX-flavor) Terminal. If you're using Windows, read on.

If you're using Windows, you can replace:

# Create an empty file called .env
touch .env

# Open the file
open .env

with

# Create an empty file called .env
echo. > .env

# Open a file called .env in Notepad
notepad .env
