GoodKey configuring server environment

By default, the GoodKey application operates with the production server. To use the canary server, you need to set a global environment variable GOODKEY_ENV with the value canary.

Setting the Environment Variable on MacOS

1. Open Terminal:
   Launch the Terminal application from the Applications folder or by searching for it in Spotlight.

2. Edit the Shell Profile:
   Depending on your shell, you need to edit the appropriate profile file. Use a text editor to open the file. For example, to edit with nano:

   • For bash: Edit ~/.bash_profile

   nano ~/.bash_profile

   • For zsh: Edit ~/.zshrc

   nano ~/.zshrc

3. Add the Environment Variable:
   Add the following line to the file:

   export GOODKEY_ENV=canary

   Save the file and exit the editor.

4. Apply the Changes:
   Run the following command in the terminal:

   source ~/.zshrc

Setting the Environment Variable on Windows

1. Open System Properties:
   Press Win + Pause/Break to open System Properties, or right-click on This PC and select Properties.

2. Advanced System Settings:
   Click on Advanced system settings on the left sidebar.

3. Environment Variables:
   In the System Properties window, click on the Environment Variables button.

4. Add New Variable:
   In the Environment Variables window, click on New under the System variables section. Enter the following details:

   • Variable name: GOODKEY_ENV
   • Variable value: canary

5. Save and Apply:
   Click OK to save the new variable. Close all remaining windows by clicking OK.

Final Step: Restart Your Computer

After setting the environment variable, it is important to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
