nodejs 获取系统环境变量_使用NodeJS设置环境变量

I need to set an environment variable from Node (currently using v8.9.3)

Ideally, I would like to run export DATA_DIR=/var/lib/data when the program starts.

1. Tried spawning a child_process to set this, but it does not appear to work.

Example:

const { spawnSync } = require( 'child_process' );

spawnSync( 'export', [ 'DATA_DIR=/var/lib/data' ] );

But this results with an ENOENT:

Error: spawnSync export ENOENT...

code: 'ENOENT',

errno: 'ENOENT',

syscall: 'spawnSync export',

path: 'export',

spawnargs: [ 'DATA_DIR=/var/lib/data' ]

2. Tried setting process.env.DATA_DIR = '/var/lib/data' but this appears to be local to the node process and is not recognized by others.

3. Tried npm modules: dotenv,
