title: Where do I save .env file?
body: <p>I'm trying to load my .env file(enviroment variable file). So I can put my instagram API credentials accordingly. I created a .env file where my views.py file is located at. Which would be main/project/user/views.py. </p>
  
  <p>.env </p>
  
  <pre><code>CLIENT_ID=I replace this with actual client ID provided by instagram
  CLIENT_SECRET=I replace this with actual clien secrent provided by instagram
  SECRET_KEY=same here
  REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:5000/instagram_callback
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>views.py</p>
  
  <pre><code>instaConfig = {
      'client_id':os.environ.get('CLIENT_ID'),
      'client_secret':os.environ.get('CLIENT_SECRET'),
      'redirect_uri' : os.environ.get('REDIRECT_URI')
  }
  api = InstagramAPI(**instaConfig)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This doesn't seem to do the magic. As client_id is returned None when I actually make calls using API.</p>
