🌿Environment Variables

What are environment variables?

Every program on Linux has an environment, like a bash- or zsh-shell, that it runs in. These shells can contain variables that can change how OmniOpt2 works. Here is a list of all shell variables that change how OmniOpt2 works.
It is important that you run these commands before you run OmniOpt2, and also that you write export in front of them. Unexported variables are not passed to programs started by the shell.
