# direnv integration for JetBrains IDEs
[](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/15285)
[](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/15285)
This plugin provides an action to import environment variables from [direnv](https://github.com/direnv/direnv) into the Java process that is running the IDE.
### Automatic Import before every Run/Debug
To automatically load the environment variables from a `/.envrc` file before each and every execution of a Run/Debug configuration, visit Settings > Tools > Direnv Settings and tick the relevant checkbox.
On starting a Run/Debug job, a notification will show if the existing environment has been changed. The newly spawned process which executes the Run/Debug configuration will inherit the environment. If you often work with multiple project windows open in a single IDE instance, this is probably the best option for you.
### Automatic Import on Startup
To automatically load the environment variables from a `/.envrc` file when you open the project, visit Settings > Tools > Direnv Settings and tick the relevant checkbox.
If "Automatic Import on Startup" is disabled, a popup notification will appear whenever a project with a `.envrc` file in the root is opened. You can load the `.envrc` file by clicking on the link in the notification.
### Manual Import
To manually load an `.envrc` file:
- If you have the main toolbar enabled (View > Appearance > Main Toolbar), a button next to the Reload All from Disk action will start the process.
- You can also right-click on any `.envrc` file and click Import Direnv to load its contents.
**Note**: This plugin handles only `.envrc` files in the project root automatically, but you can use the right click method to manually import any `.envrc` file that is in the project directory.
**Note**: You need `direnv` in your path, or you can specify the location of your direnv executable in Settings > Tools > Direnv Settings
## Installation
- Using IDE built-in plugin system:
Settings/Preferences > Plugins > Marketplace > Search for "intellij-direnv" >
Install Plugin
- Manually:
Download the [latest release](https://github.com/fehnomenal/intellij-direnv/releases/latest) and install it manually using
Settings/Preferences > Plugins > ⚙️ > Install plugin from disk...
## Building from source
```shell script
git clone https://github.com/fehnomenal/intellij-direnv
cd intellij-direnv
./gradlew buildPlugin
```
The plugin is now in the folder `build/distributions/` and can be installed manually.
##### On NixOS
The gradle plugins downloads JetBrains' JRE and fails to execute it.
Add the following in `build.gradle.kts`:
```kotlin
tasks.withType {
projectExecutable.set(org.gradle.internal.jvm.Jvm.current().javaExecutable.absolutePath)
}
```
