To set the environment variables on macOS:

1. Open the terminal.

2. Mac uses different shell profiles based on shell type. If you already know what shell you are using, skip to Step 3.

   To find out what shell you are using, run the following command:

                   echo $SHELL 
   
                 

   • If the output contains /bin/zsh, you are using zsh.

   • If the output contains /bin/bash, you are using bash.

3. Run the appropriate command based on the shell profile you are using:

   • For zsh:

                         nano ~/.zprofile 
     
                       

   • For bash:

                         nano ~/.bash_profile 
     
                       

4. Add the environment variable to the file in this format:

                   export VARIABLE_NAME=value 
   
                 

   For example:

                   export SUITECLOUD_CI_PASSKEY=0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 
   
                 

5. Save your changes and close the file. In nano:

   1. Press Ctrl +X to exit.

   2. Press Y to confirm changes.

   3. Press Enter to save.

6. To apply the changes immediately, run the following command:

   • For zsh:

                         source ~/.zprofile 
     
                       

   • For bash:

                         source ~/.bash_profile 
     
                       

7. (Optional) To ensure that the variable is set correctly, check its value using the following command:

                   echo $VARIABLE_NAME

                   export VARIABLE_NAME=value
