Run Commands & Environment Variables
The basic command to run Kometa is as follows:
=== "Windows / Mac / Linux"
``` py
python kometa.py
```
=== "Docker"
``` py
docker run --rm -it -v "/<ROOT_KOMETA_DIRECTORY_HERE>/config:/config:rw" kometateam/kometa
```
To customize the running of Kometa according to your needs, you can use either run commands or environmental variables. Environmental variables take precedence over run command attributes. However, if you encounter a race condition where an attribute has been set both via an environmental variable and a shell command, the environmental variable will be given priority.
Please note that these instructions assume that you have a basic understanding of Docker concepts. If you need to familiarize yourself with Docker, you can check out the official tutorial.
Another way to specify environmental variables is by adding them to a .env file located in your config folder.
Environment variables are expressed as KEY=VALUE
depending on the context where you are specifying them, you may enter
those two things in two different fields, or some other way. The examples below show how you would specify the
environment variable in a script or a docker run
command. Things like Portainer or a NAS Docker UI will have
different ways to specify these things.
???+ warning "Combining Commands or Variables"
Some Commands or Variables can be combined in a single run, this is mainly beneficial when you want to run a specific command and have it run immediately rather than waiting until the next scheduled run.
For example, if I want to run [Collections Only](#collections-only) to only run Collection Files, and [Run Immediately](#run) to skip waiting until my next scheduled run, I can use both commands at the same time:
!!! example
=== "Local Environment"
```
python kometa.py --collections-only --run

docker run -it -v "X:\Media\Kometa\config:/config:rw" kometateam/kometa --collections-only --run

This will impact any [Smart Label Collections](../files/builders/smart.md#smart-label) that you have in your
library.
We do not recommend using this on a regular basis if you also use any operations or collections that update
labels, as you are effectively deleting and adding labels on each run.
