You need to get an AppId from Wolfram Alpha. Please visit the API Documentation website for further information.

The AppID can be supplied via the --appid CLI option or via the configuration file (appid="XXXXXX-YYYYYYYYYY").

Run wat --help to find the location of the configuration file.

Use CLI option --units=imperial or add units=imperial to the configuration file.
