<p>Langflow lets you configure a number of settings using environment variables.</p>
<h2 class="anchor anchorWithHideOnScrollNavbar_WYt5" id="configure-environment-variables">Configure environment variables<a href="#configure-environment-variables" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Configure environment variables" title="Direct link to Configure environment variables"></a></h2>
<p>Langflow recognizes <a href="#supported-variables">supported environment variables</a> from the following sources:</p>
<ul>
<li>Environment variables that you&#x27;ve set in your terminal.</li>
<li>Environment variables that you&#x27;ve imported from a <code>.env</code> file using the <code>--env-file</code> option in the Langflow CLI.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can choose to use one source exclusively, or use both sources together.
If you choose to use both sources together, be aware that environment variables imported from a <code>.env</code> file take <a href="#precedence">precedence</a> over those set in your terminal.</p>

<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">precedence rules</a>.</p>

<p>If your <code>.env</code> file isn&#x27;t in the same directory, provide the path to your <code>.env</code> file.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>On startup, Langflow imports the environment variables from your <code>.env</code> file, as well as any that you <a href="#configure-variables-terminal">set in your terminal</a>, and adopts their specified values.</p>
<h2 class="anchor anchorWithHideOnScrollNavbar_WYt5" id="precedence">Precedence<a href="#precedence" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Precedence" title="Direct link to Precedence"></a></h2>
<p>You can set Langflow environment variables in your terminal, in <code>.env</code>, and with <a href="/configuration-cli">Langflow CLI options</a>.</p>
<p>If an environment variable is set in multiple places, the following hierarchy applies:</p>
<ol>
<li>Langflow CLI options override <code>.env</code> and terminal variables.</li>
<li><code>.env</code> overrides terminal variables.</li>
<li>Terminal variables are used only if the variable isn&#x27;t set in <code>.env</code> or Langflow CLI options.</li>
</ol>
<p>For example, if you set <code>LANGFLOW_PORT</code> in <code>.env</code> and your terminal, then Langflow uses the value from <code>.env</code>.
Similarly, if you run a Langflow CLI command with <code>--port</code>, Langflow uses that port number instead of the <code>LANGFLOW_PORT</code> in <code>.env</code>.</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>
