Using process.env commands in windows for the production
In Windows, you can use the set
command to set environment variables for your production environment. Here's how you can use it:
Open Command Prompt: Open the Command Prompt by searching for "cmd" in the Start menu and selecting the Command Prompt application.
Set Environment Variables: Use the
set
command followed by the variable name and its value to set environment variables. For example, to set theDATABASE_URL
variable to a PostgreSQL connection string, you would run the following command:plaintextset DATABASE_URL=postgres://username:password@localhost:5432/database
Replace
username
,password
,localhost
,5432
, anddatabase
with the appropriate values for your production environment.You can set multiple environment variables by running multiple
set
commands, each with a different variable name and value.Verify Environment Variables: To verify that the environment variables are set correctly, you can use the
echo
command followed by the variable name. For example:plaintextecho %DATABASE_URL%
The command will display the value of the
DATABASE_URL
environment variable.
Note: The environment variables set using the set
command in the Command Prompt are temporary and will be valid only for the current session. If you need to set environment variables permanently, you can do so through the System Properties dialog or by modifying the registry. However, modifying system-wide environment variables typically requires administrative privileges.
Alternatively, if you are using a production server or a hosting platform, consult the documentation or instructions provided by the platform to set environment variables specific to your deployment environment.
