Run the script:
Run the script, passing your credentials and server URL as environment variables.

On **Linux / macOS** (Bash):

```bash
SOLID_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id" \
SOLID_CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret" \
SOLID_OIDC_ISSUER="http://localhost:3000" \
node index.js
```

On **Windows** (PowerShell):

```powershell
$env:SOLID_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id"
$env:SOLID_CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret"
$env:SOLID_OIDC_ISSUER="http://localhost:3000"
node index.js
```

Replace `http://localhost:3000` with the URL of your Solid server (for example, `https://solidcommunity.net` or `https://login.inrupt.com`).

You should see your profile document printed to the console.
