# Environment Variables

In the Morph framework, you can set environment variables to be used in your code.

Accessing environment variables is done in the same way as in regular Python code.

```python theme={"dark"}
import os
import pandas as pd
import morph
from morph import MorphGlobalContext

@morph.func
def get_env_value(context: MorphGlobalContext):
    # get env variable named "ENV_NAME"
    env_name = os.environ["ENV_NAME"]
    return pd.DataFrame({})
```

By creating a `.env` file at the root of your project and setting your variables there, the Morph framework will automatically read them.

```bash .env theme={"dark"}
KEY1=value1
KEY2=value2
```
