# `nuxi preview`
```{bash}
npx nuxi preview [rootDir] [--dotenv]
```
The `preview` command starts a server to preview your Nuxt application after running the `build` command.
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.
