What is the issue?
Some steps are missing, like if a new person is trying to install your codex in terminal, how can you directly export your OpenAI API key here? What step does he have to do, like create a folder in ReactJS or a normal then create a file .env.
Where did you find it?

I think this is part of the documentation here:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/297
What is missing?
Not that the setup documentation is not written like a step-by-step guide as a third person, but how will I know where to go after installing Codex and where to paste the API key in the environment variable? We can make it better by providing a Screenshot.
