Make it clear that you need to create an .env file when setting up Notify #181

Closed oli-rose28 closed 1 year ago

What

When you set up notify in the prototype - https://prototype-kit.service.gov.uk/docs/using-notify part of the instruction is to add the Notify Api key at end of the .env file.

We need to make it clear that you need to create this file.

Why

A user asked for support, as they could not find the .env file and from the guidance they thought the file would already exist.

Who needs to work on this

Content Designer

Done when

The guide explains that you need to create a file called .env in the root of your prototype (the same folder as app is in) and the kit will pick it up next time you start running it.
