   The initialization of these environmental variables can take place in a common place like in your .bashrc or .bash_profile

5. Edit the Application Configuration

   Open <PROJECT-FOLDER>/src/app/helpers/environmentVariablesHelper.js in any available text editor and update the contents of the file so that it contains exactly the following values Note: Environment variables are dependent on your infra and may change please contact the infra person for updated environment variables

     module.exports = {
