Setting up the environment

After defining the platform, we must instruct ``qibolab`` of the location of the create file.
After defining the platform, we must instruct ``qibolab`` of the location of the platform(s).
We need to define the path that contains platform folders.
This can be done using an environment variable:
for Unix based systems:

.. code-block:: bash
export QIBOLAB_PLATFORMS=<path-to-create-file>
export QIBOLAB_PLATFORMS=<path-platform-folders>
for Windows:

.. code-block:: bash
$env:QIBOLAB_PLATFORMS="<path-to-create-file>"
$env:QIBOLAB_PLATFORMS="<path-to-platform-folders>"
To avoid having to repeat this export command for every session, this line can be added to the ``.bashrc`` file (or alternatives as ``.zshrc``).
