0. Save your OpenAI API key to your environment as OPENAI_API_KEY
1. Simply open your terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T)
2. Activate the venv
3. Run the command python main.py your_youtube_link

• Ex. python main.py https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

• Use python main.py {your video link} --question "put question in quotations" to query the video data in a specific way.

• You'll need to update the following variables in main.py before running the script:
