Hi @zappy586

You can set environment variables using something like the following in your app.py file.

import streamlit as st
import os

# Set the path as environment variable
os.environ['PATH'] = '/path/to/dir/'

Additionally, you can also use Streamlit’s secrets as well. More info here:

Set on Streamlit Community Cloud, then to use in app:

st.secrets['PATH']

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Chanin
