Install
-------

[](#install)

If you want always load the `.env` file in your project, run the following command:

```
$ composer require coisa/dotenv
```

If you just want to load the `.env` file in your project only for development, run the following command:

```
$ composer require --dev coisa/dotenv
```

Since this library uses the `symfony/dotenv` package, all the following files will be loaded:

- `.env`
- `.env.dist`
- `.env.local`
- `.env.$APP_ENV`
- `.env.$APP_ENV.local`

The `.env` files must be in the root of your project.
