Add support for using environment file .env and update readme with additional instructions.#1
Conversation
Added Mac-specific conda environment creation instructions and expanded the PostgreSQL setup section with download link and example commands for creating a database.
Added python-dotenv to environment files and updated config.py to load environment variables from a .env file. Updated README to instruct users to set the database URI in a .env file instead of editing config.py directly. Also updated .gitignore to exclude .env files. Using a .env file provides a secure and flexible way to manage configuration variables (like the database connection string) separately from your source code. This is essential because the connection string could contain sensitive credentials and will be different for every user.
