Setting Environment Variable

NODE_ENV: Specifies the environment for the application (e.g., `production`, `development`).

1. Step 1: Open PowerShell
   1. Press `Win + R`, type **powershell**, and press **Enter**.
2. Step 2: Set Environment Variable
   1. Run the following command in PowerShell:

      [System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("NODE_ENV", "production", "User")

      This will persist the variable across system restarts.

3. Step 3: Refresh PowerShell to Apply Changes

   $env:NODE_ENV = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("NODE_ENV", "User")

4. Step 4: Verify the Variables
   1. Check if the variable is set correctly:

      echo $env:NODE_ENV

• For Windows (PowerShell)

$env:NODE_ENV = "production"

This variable will only be available for the current session.
