 ### Local environment
 
 When working on your local machine, you must manually load the sandbox's environment variables. First, add the environment variable in your `.env.local` file. Then, a library such as [`@dotenvx/dotenvx`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@dotenvx/dotenvx) can load the environment variables, which you can then reference with `process.env`.
