Describe the bug
is the env file missing? or do I have to create one?

A .env file is currently only used qhen setting up a discord server. In which case you should set the variables in the environment.

In the normal cli mode, .env file does not serve any purpose.

Environmental variables usually contain sensitive information (such as discord tokens). Hence, dotenv file is mainly used in the development, and version control (git) ignores these files when committing changes.
