```bash [Terminal]
|
|
npx nuxi preview|start [rootDir] [--dotenv]
|
|
```

The `preview` command starts a server to preview your Nuxt application after running the `build` command. The `start` command is an alias for `preview`. When running your application in production refer to the [Deployment section](/docs/getting-started/deployment).

Option | Default | Description

-------------------------|-----------------|------------------
|
|
`rootDir` | `.` | The root directory of the application to preview.
|
|
`--dotenv` | `.` | Point to another `.env` file to load, **relative** to the root directory.
|
|
|
|
This command sets `process.env.NODE_ENV` to `production`. To override, define `NODE_ENV` in a `.env` file or as command-line argument.
|
|
|
|
::note
|
|
For convenience, in preview mode, your [`.env`](/docs/guide/directory-structure/env) file will be loaded into `process.env`. (However, in production you will need to ensure your environment variables are set yourself.)
