APP_ID=
API_HASH=
BOT_TOKEN=
FROM_CHANNEL=
TO_CHANNEL=

and:

APP_ID=
API_HASH=
BOT_TOKEN=
FROM_CHANNEL=
TO_CHANNEL=

either of them work

[xditya]

Did you fill it up with values?

[SmokeyOdin]

Everything seems fine. Please recheck if your file name is .env and it is in the root of the cloned repository.
