# Environment Variables

There are several environment variables that can be useful for developers:

## `BOKEH_BROWSER`

What browser to use when opening plots Valid values are any of the browser names understood by the python standard library webbrowser module.

## `BOKEH_DEV`

Whether to use development mode This uses absolute paths to development (non-minified) BokehJS components, sets logging to `debug`, makes generated HTML and JSON human-readable, etc.

This is a meta variable equivalent to the following environment variables:

- `BOKEH_BROWSER=none`
- `BOKEH_LOG_LEVEL=debug`
- `BOKEH_MINIFIED=false`
- `BOKEH_PRETTY=true`
- `BOKEH_PY_LOG_LEVEL=debug`
- `BOKEH_RESOURCES=absolute-dev`
- `BOKEH_SIMPLE_IDS=true`

Accepted values are `yes`/`no`, `true`/`false` or `0`/`1`.

## `BOKEH_DOCS_CDN`

What version of BokehJS to use when building sphinx docs.

To build and display the docs using a locally built BokehJS, set to `local`. For example:

    BOKEH_DOCS_CDN=local make clean serve

Will build a fresh copy of the docs using the locally built BokehJS and open a new browser tab to view hem.

To build test docs to deploy to a one-off location on the docs site, set to `test:<location>`. For example:

    BOKEH_DOCS_CDN=test:newthing make clean

will build docs that can be deployed with `fab deploy:newthing`.

Otherwise, the value is interpreted a version for CDN:

    BOKEH_DOCS_CDN=0.12.7rc1 make clean

will build docs that use BokehJS version `0.12.7rc1` from CDN (whether viewed locally or deployed to the docs site).

### `BOKEH_DOCS_VERSION`

What version of Bokeh to show when building sphinx docs locally. Useful if it is necessay to re-deploy old docs with hotfixes.

## `BOKEH_DOCS_CSS_SERVER`

Where to get the CSS stylesheet from, by default this will be bokehplots.com

## `BOKEH_LOG_LEVEL`

The BokehJS console logging level to use Valid values are, in order of increasing severity:

> - `trace`
> - `debug`
> - `info`
> - `warn`
> - `error`
> - `fatal`

The default logging level is `info`.

Note

When running server examples, it is the value of this `BOKEH_LOG_LEVEL` that is set for the server that matters.

## `BOKEH_MINIFIED`

Whether to emit minified JavaScript for `bokeh.js` Accepted values are `yes`/`no`, `true`/`false` or `0`/`1`.

## `BOKEH_PRETTY`

Whether to emit “pretty printed” JSON Accepted values are `yes`/`no`, `true`/`false` or `0`/`1`.

## `BOKEH_PY_LOG_LEVEL`

The Python logging level to set As in the JS side, valid values are, in order of increasing severity:

> - `trace`
> - `debug`
> - `info`
> - `warn`
> - `error`
> - `fatal`
> - `none`

The default logging level is `none`.

## `BOKEH_RESOURCES`

What kind of BokehJS resources to configure For example: `inline`, `cdn`, `server`. See the `Resources` class reference for full details.

## `BOKEH_ROOTDIR`

Root directory to use with `relative` resources See the `Resources` class reference for full details.

## `BOKEH_SIMPLE_IDS`

Whether to generate human-friendly object IDs Accepted values are `yes`/`no`, `true`/`false` or `0`/`1`. Normally Bokeh generates UUIDs for object identifiers. Setting this variable to an affirmative value will result in more friendly simple numeric IDs counting up from 1000.

## `BOKEH_VALIDATE_DOC`

Whether to perform a validation check on the document before outputting. Accepted values are `yes`/`no`, `true`/`false` or `0`/`1`. Setting this variable to a negative value for a document that is known to be correctly configured may yield performance improvements.

## `BOKEH_VERSION`

What version of BokehJS to use with `cdn` resources See the `Resources` class reference for full details.
