# Environment variables
Some behaviors of Electron are controlled by environment variables, because they
are initialized earlier than command line and the app's code.

Examples on POSIX shells:
```bash
$ export ELECTRON_ENABLE_LOGGING=true
$ electron
```
on Windows console:
```powershell
> set ELECTRON_ENABLE_LOGGING=true
> electron
```
