## Load environment variables

> [!NOTE]
> 
> Variable values can be defined directly from an environment variable.\
> \
> Environnement variable names begin with a prefix (by default ROUGAIL_) followed by the variable path in uppercase, for example: ROUGAIL_MY_VARIABLE. If you are using namespaces, the prefix is the name of the namespace in uppercase.\
> \
> Note that variable paths can contain dots ("."), which are not permitted everywhere. To avoid any issues, use the `env` command, for example: `env ROUGAIL_MY_FAMILY.MY_VARIABLE=1 rougail`.\
> \
> For values, there is no difference between a number and a letter (they can be enclosed in quotes or not). However, booleans are True or False. The separator for multiple variables is a comma.\
> **Path**: environment\
> *`disabled`*\
> **Disabled**: if environment is not set in "[Select for user datas](#step.user_data)"
