How do i start the .env file?

[drakeshadeslayer]

litterally just created it and it keeps saying Missing required arguments: archive-folder, bluesky-username, bluesky-password after i type this npm run start -- -- Variables.env. it also says in the instructions to place the file " in the project folder where you set the following variables"
what am i doing wrong? this needs clarification.

If you have created an .env file you can execute npm run start_log, it is not necessary to pass parameters via command line.

so running the command did not work, do i have the .env file in the wrong directory? what am i doing wrong?:

i should add that i made the .env using the text editor notepad.

@drakeshadeslayer The file must be naming ".env" only.
