How to Install `direnv` on Windows and macOS

For Microsoft Windows

Install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) if not already installed:
- Open PowerShell as Administrator and run:
```

```
- Restart your computer if prompted.
Open WSL (Linux terminal) and install direnv:
- Once WSL is installed and set up, open a WSL terminal (e.g., Ubuntu) and run:
```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install direnv
```
Configure direnv in your shell (Bash, Zsh, etc.):
- Add the following to your shell configuration file (e.g., ~/.bashrc for Bash or ~/.zshrc for Zsh):
```
eval "$(direnv hook bash)"  # or use "zsh" if using Zsh
```
- Reload the shell configuration:
```
source ~/.bashrc  # or ~/.zshrc
```

Install direnv using Homebrew:
- Open a terminal and run:
```

```
Configure direnv in your shell:
- Add the following line to your shell configuration file (e.g., ~/.bashrc for Bash or ~/.zshrc for Zsh):
```
eval "$(direnv hook bash)"  # or "zsh" for Zsh
```
- Then reload the shell configuration:
```
source ~/.bashrc  # or ~/.zshrc
```

Let me know if you run into any issues with the installation!

To activate direnv in a specific folder, follow these steps:

Navigate to the folder where you want to use direnv:
```
cd /path/to/your/folder
```
Create an .envrc file in the folder and add any environment variables or commands you want to set:
```
echo 'export OPEN_AI_KEY="Your Key"' > .envrc
```
Allow the .envrc file by running the following command:
```
direnv allow
```
Now, every time you enter this folder, direnv will automatically load the environment variables and commands specified in .envrc. If you make changes to .envrc, run direnv allow again to apply them.
