# Read environment variables

The current environment variables can be accessed via `process.env`.

```ts index.ts icon="https://mintcdn.com/bun-1dd33a4e-farm-15490b5d-test-done-error-hook/dtyJFOORXktpqgAt/icons/typescript.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=dtyJFOORXktpqgAt&q=85&s=d88c07e26cef48a230df2faee376b314" theme={null}
process.env.API_TOKEN; // => "secret"
```

***

Bun also exposes these variables via `Bun.env`, which is an alias of `process.env`.

```ts index.ts icon="https://mintcdn.com/bun-1dd33a4e-farm-15490b5d-test-done-error-hook/dtyJFOORXktpqgAt/icons/typescript.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=dtyJFOORXktpqgAt&q=85&s=d88c07e26cef48a230df2faee376b314" theme={null}
Bun.env.API_TOKEN; // => "secret"
```

***

To print all currently-set environment variables to the command line, run `bun --print process.env`. This is useful for debugging.

```sh terminal icon="terminal" theme={null}
bun --print process.env
```

```txt theme={null}
BAZ=stuff
FOOBAR=aaaaaa
<lots more lines>
```
