Meteor uses local environment variables for a few things, such as configuring email. While some platforms (like Modulus) make it easy to configure them from their web dashboard, on a local dev environment the best way is to set up an alias for the mrt command. For example, to configure Meteor to use Mailgun for email, in your .bash_profile file just add: alias m='MAIL_URL=smtp://username:[email protected]:587/ mrt'

This can also be useful for starting Meteor on a specific port: alias m4='MAIL_URL=smtp://username:[email protected]:587/ mrt --port 4000'
