+## Required Purview Configuration
+
+Before using PVW CLI, you need to set three essential environment variables. Here's how to find them:
+
+### 🔍 **How to Find Your Purview Values**
+
+#### **1. PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_NAME**
+- This is your Purview account name as it appears in Azure Portal
+- Example: `kaydemopurview`
+
+#### **2. PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_ID** 
+- This is the GUID that identifies your Purview account for Unified Catalog APIs
+- **✅ Important: For most Purview deployments, this is your Azure Tenant ID**
+
+- **Method 1 - Get your Tenant ID (recommended):**
+  
+  **Bash/Command Prompt:**
+  ```bash
+  az account show --query tenantId -o tsv
+  ```
+  
+  **PowerShell:**
+  ```powershell
+  az account show --query tenantId -o tsv
+  # Or store directly in environment variable:
+  $env:PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_ID = az account show --query tenantId -o tsv
+  ```
+
+- **Method 2 - Azure CLI (extract from Atlas endpoint):**
+  ```bash
+  az purview account show --name YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME --resource-group YOUR_RG --query endpoints.catalog -o tsv
+  ```
+  Extract the GUID from the URL (before `-api.purview-service.microsoft.com`)
+
+- **Method 3 - Azure Portal:**
+  1. Go to your Purview account in Azure Portal
+  2. Navigate to Properties → Atlas endpoint URL
+  3. Extract GUID from: `https://GUID-api.purview-service.microsoft.com/catalog`
+
+#### **3. PURVIEW_RESOURCE_GROUP**
+- The Azure resource group containing your Purview account
+- Example: `fabric-artifacts`
+
+### 📋 **Setting the Variables**
+
+**Windows Command Prompt:**
+```cmd
+set PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_NAME=your-purview-account
+set PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_ID=your-purview-account-id
+set PURVIEW_RESOURCE_GROUP=your-resource-group
+```
+
+**Windows PowerShell:**
+```powershell
+$env:PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_NAME="your-purview-account"
+$env:PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_ID="your-purview-account-id" 
+$env:PURVIEW_RESOURCE_GROUP="your-resource-group"
+```
+
+**Linux/macOS:**
+```bash
+export PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_NAME=your-purview-account
+export PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_ID=your-purview-account-id
+export PURVIEW_RESOURCE_GROUP=your-resource-group
+```
+
+**Permanent (Windows Command Prompt):**
+```cmd
+setx PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_NAME "your-purview-account"
+setx PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_ID "your-purview-account-id"
+setx PURVIEW_RESOURCE_GROUP "your-resource-group"
+```
+
+**Permanent (Windows PowerShell):**
+```powershell
+[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_NAME", "your-purview-account", "User")
+[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_ID", "your-purview-account-id", "User")
+[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PURVIEW_RESOURCE_GROUP", "your-resource-group", "User")
+```
+
+### 🔧 **Debug Environment Issues**
+
+If you experience issues with environment variables between different terminals, use these debug commands:
+
+**Command Prompt/Bash:**
+```bash
+# Run this to check your current environment
+python -c "
+import os
+print('PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_NAME:', os.getenv('PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_NAME'))
+print('PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_ID:', os.getenv('PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_ID'))
+print('PURVIEW_RESOURCE_GROUP:', os.getenv('PURVIEW_RESOURCE_GROUP'))
+"
+```
+
+**PowerShell:**
+```powershell
+# Check environment variables in PowerShell
+python -c "
+import os
+print('PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_NAME:', os.getenv('PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_NAME'))
+print('PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_ID:', os.getenv('PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_ID'))
+print('PURVIEW_RESOURCE_GROUP:', os.getenv('PURVIEW_RESOURCE_GROUP'))
+"
+
+# Or use PowerShell native commands
+Write-Host "PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_NAME: $env:PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_NAME"
+Write-Host "PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_ID: $env:PURVIEW_ACCOUNT_ID" 
+Write-Host "PURVIEW_RESOURCE_GROUP: $env:PURVIEW_RESOURCE_GROUP"
