You can either set configuration via:\n\n1. Command line flags (good for one-off use)\n2. Environment variables (good for API keys)\n3. A configuration file (good for your \"dotfiles\")\n\nWhen multiple means of configuration are used, the values will take precedence in the aforementioned priority.\n\n\n### Command line flags\n\nThe list of command line flags is easily discovered via the `--help` flag. Any passed command line flag will take precedence over any other configuration mechanism.\n\n### Environment variables\n\nSome configuration values can also be specified via environment variables. This is especially useful for API keys of different sources.\n\nThe following environment variables are read by **define**\u0027s sources:\n\n- `MERRIAM_WEBSTER_DICTIONARY_APP_KEY`\n- `OXFORD_DICTIONARY_APP_ID`\n- `OXFORD_DICTIONARY_APP_KEY`\n\n### Configuration file\n\nA configuration file can be stored that **define** will automatically load the values from.\n\n",
