+## Installation script (Windows)

+For windows you can run `.\install.bat` (or double-click) after cloning the repo. It will do the following:
+1. Copies the necessary files to `~/yolo-ai-cmdbot/`
+2. Creates a `yolo.bat` file in `~` that lets you run equivalent to `python.exe ~\yolo-ai-cmdbot\yolo.py`

+If you use `install.bat` you should have a `yolo.bat` file in your `~` directory that lets you run the command like so:

 # OpenAI API Key configuration
 
 There are two ways to configure the key:
-- You can either `export OPENAI_API_KEY=<yourkey>`
+- You can either `export OPENAI_API_KEY=<yourkey>`, or have a `.env` file in the same directory as `yolo.py` with `OPENAI_API_KEY="<yourkey>"` as a line
 - Create a file at `~/.openai.apikey` with the key in it
