I’m getting this error when the developer rig runs:

Missing configurations for rig: EXT\_OWNER\_NAME,EXT\_CLIENT\_ID,EXT\_VERSION,EXT\_CHANNEL,EXT\_SECRET

I’ve triple checked the details and I’m sure they’re correct. Has anyone else encountered this?  
Thanks  
Mark

I’m running windows by the way so I’m having to run the command to start the rig like this

```auto
yarn start EXT_CLIENT_ID=<client id> EXT_SECRET=<secret> EXT_VERSION=<version> EXT_CHANNEL=<channel> EXT_OWNER_NAME=<owner> 

```

Could this be causing it as it ignores everything after start?

I don’t use windows but making a file with the name `.env.local` in the rig’s root with these contents should work:

`EXT_CLIENT_ID=...`  
`EXT_SECRET=...`  
`EXT_VERSION=...`  
`EXT_CHANNEL=...`  
`EXT_OWNER_NAME=...`

more convenient too
