export CANARD_API_URL="http://YOUR-JOURNALIST-SERVER:8000/fever/"
export CANARD_API_KEY="YOUR-JOURNALIST-API-KEY"
export GLAMOUR_STYLE="dark"

Journalist-related configuration
parameters. CANARD_API_KEY is the Journalist username:password string as MD5

then you can simply set CANARD_API_KEY to 9a0f36d70a22b40baa26f3df113cd9eb.
In case you have different users/passwords, run
echo -n "username:password" | md5sum to retrieve the hash.
GLAMOUR_STYLE defines how the articles are being rendered, see
glamour for more info.
Please make sure you’re running the latest version of journalist!
