 ## Setting Environment Variables
-Whether running locally or through Github actions, you will need to set environment variables. All environment variables you might want are in `.env.template`. Generally you only need the METACULUS_TOKEN if running the Template. Having an EXA_API_KEY (see www.exa.ai) or PERPLEXITY_API_KEY (see www.perplexity.ai) is needed for searching the web. Make sure to put these variables in your `.env` file if running locally and in the Github actions secrets if running on Github actions.
