Assuming you have your API keys
If you are using windows do this on your terminal
SET APCA_API_KEY_ID=******************************
SET APCA_API_SECRET_KEY=******************************
SET APCA_API_BASE_URL =https://paper-api.alpaca.markets

or Linux :
export APCA_API_KEY_ID=******************************
export APCA_API_SECRET_KEY=******************************
export APCA_API_BASE_URL=https://paper-api.alpaca.markets
