# Read environment variables

Access the current environment variables with `process.env`.

```ts index.ts icon="https://mintcdn.com/bun-1dd33a4e/JUhaF6Mf68z_zHyy/icons/typescript.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=JUhaF6Mf68z_zHyy&q=85&s=7ac549adaea8d5487d8fbd58cc3ea35b" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
process.env.API_TOKEN; // => "secret"
```

***

Bun also exposes these variables as `Bun.env`, an alias of `process.env`.

```ts index.ts icon="https://mintcdn.com/bun-1dd33a4e/JUhaF6Mf68z_zHyy/icons/typescript.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=JUhaF6Mf68z_zHyy&q=85&s=7ac549adaea8d5487d8fbd58cc3ea35b" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
Bun.env.API_TOKEN; // => "secret"
```

***

To print all currently-set environment variables, run `bun --print process.env`.

```sh terminal icon="terminal" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
bun --print process.env
```

```txt theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
ProcessEnv {
  BAZ: "stuff",
  FOOBAR: "aaaaaa",
  <lots more lines>
}
```
