# Project environment variables

Some Python packages depend on environment variables for correct operation. For example, Theano requires the directory containing the CUDA compiler to be included in the `$PATH` environment variable for GPU acceleration to be enabled.

To change environment variables for all AEN apps, modify the project runtime configuration file `.projectrc` as described on the Compute Resource Config Application page.

This file is sourced when a user opens any AEN app. This includes the Jupyter app, and Jupyter kernels will be able to read these environment variables.

`.projectrc` sets several AEN internal environment variables and sets up the project environment, and can set additional user environment variables for that project.
