    // If we weren't able to grab it, we should throw a new error
    if (myAccountId == null ||
        myPrivateKey == null ) {
        throw new Error("Environment variables myAccountId and myPrivateKey must be present");
    }

The error message given points me to think your private key may be off. Double-check your .env file and ensure you have entered in your private key correctly.
