If you are going to run gnc-fq-dump (or -helper) from the shell, you
need to pass the API Key in an "environment variable".  How you set this
variable depends on the type of shell you use.  One sure-fire way to get
it to work on Linux and Mac (sorry, Windows users), is to use the 'env'
command:

$ env ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=xxxxxx  gnc-fq-dump alphavantage CSCO

In order to permanently set this will depend on which shell you use.
