Key Error : 'Secret Key'

[Stanislavnba]

Hello, I tried to run the CRM. Downloaded it all.
installed the requirements.txt in both the file directory and in the virtualenv.
I cant run the server thou.
When I try to run it this shows up.
File "C:\Users\stani\OneDrive\Desktop\Ladyfit Site\Django-CRM-master\crm\settings.py", line 12, in
SECRET_KEY = os.environ["SECRET_KEY"]
File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_3.9.3568.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\lib\os.py", line 679, in getitem
raise KeyError(key) from None
KeyError: 'SECRET_KEY'

I searched for this and I dont have .pyc files to delete. I fixed the dotenv import issue and it still doesnt work.
Any ideas ?

I kind of fixed it. Everything that is called from the env.md file cannot be called for some reason. So I just replaced it in the settings.py. But now i have a error 404 when I run the server. So I will try and figure this out now. Do I need some files or data in the DB before I start the server?

because lib dontenv

just

linux = mv env.md .env
win = rename env.md to .env

Just copy paste the env.md into .env file.
