<p>In general, environment variables, like <code>LANGFLOW_PORT</code> or <code>LANGFLOW_LOG_LEVEL</code>, configure how Langflow runs.
These are broad settings that apply to your entire Langflow deployment.</p>
<p>In contrast, global variables are user-defined values stored in Langflow&#x27;s database for use in flows, such as <code>OPENAI_API_KEY</code>.
Langflow can also source global variables from environment variables.
For more information, see <a class="" href="/configuration-global-variables">Langflow global variables</a>.</p>
<h2 class="anchor anchorTargetHideOnScrollNavbar_vjPI" id="configure-environment-variables-for-langflow-oss">Configure environment variables for Langflow OSS<a href="#configure-environment-variables-for-langflow-oss" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Configure environment variables for Langflow OSS" title="Direct link to Configure environment variables for Langflow OSS" translate="no"></a></h2>
<p>Langflow recognizes <a href="#supported-variables" class="">supported environment variables</a> from the following sources:</p>
<ul>
<li class="">Environment variables set in your terminal.</li>
<li class="">Environment variables imported from a <code>.env</code> file when starting Langflow.</li>
<li class="">Environment variables set with the <a class="" href="/configuration-cli">Langflow CLI</a>, including the <code>--env-file</code> option and direct options, such as <code>--port</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can choose to use one or more of these sources.</p>
<h3 class="anchor anchorTargetHideOnScrollNavbar_vjPI" id="precedence">Precedence<a href="#precedence" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Precedence" title="Direct link to Precedence" translate="no"></a></h3>
<p>If the same environment variable is set in multiple places, the following hierarchy applies:</p>
<ol>
<li class="">Langflow CLI options override all other sources.</li>
<li class="">The <code>.env</code> file overrides system environment variables.</li>
<li class="">System environment variables are used only if not set elsewhere.
When running a Langflow Docker image, the <code>-e</code> flag can be used to set additional system environment variables.</li>
</ol>
<p>For example:</p>
<ul>
<li class="">If you set <code>LANGFLOW_PORT=8080</code> in your system environment and <code>LANGFLOW_PORT=7860</code> in <code>.env</code>, Langflow uses <code>7860</code> from <code>.env</code>.</li>
<li class="">If you use the Langflow CLI to run <code>langflow run --env-file .env --port 9000</code>, and you set <code>LANGFLOW_PORT=7860</code> in <code>.env</code>, then Langflow uses <code>9000</code> from the CLI option.</li>
</ul>

<p>When you start Langflow, it looks for environment variables that you&#x27;ve set in your terminal.
If it detects a supported environment variable, then it automatically adopts the specified value, subject to <a href="#precedence" class="">precedence rules</a>.</p>

<p>Environment variables set in your terminal aren&#x27;t automatically available to GUI-based applications like Langflow Desktop when you launch them from the Windows or macOS GUI.</p>
<p>For Windows, this means any GUI-based app launched from the Start menu, desktop shortcuts, or Windows Explorer.</p>
<p>For macOS, this means any GUI-based app launched from Finder, Spotlight, Launchpad, or the Dock.</p>
<p>To set environment variables for Langflow Desktop, you need to use specific commands or files, depending on your OS.</p>
