Environment Variables

The Library and CLI uses a few environment variables to simplify some access.

Environment Variable	Default Value	Description
SKA_SCHEMAS_CACHE	None	Specify the location of the cache directory. By default this uses your user’s cache directory
SKA_SCHEMAS_ALLOW_STRICT_VALIDATION	None	Specifies whether strict validation is allowed to raise errors about superflous fields. This is typically only a good idea in unit and integration tests.
SKA_SCHEMAS_ALLOW_DEV_VERSION	False	If set to True, development versions of schemas are also allowed to be loaded. (See Science Data Processor schemas)
