## Step 4: Configure Environment Variables

The catalog automatically populates required environment variables.

Review the values and update them as required.

Common examples include:

| **Variable**            | **Description**     |
| ----------------------- | ------------------- |
| WORDPRESS\_DB\_USER     | Database username   |
| WORDPRESS\_DB\_PASSWORD | Database password   |
| WORDPRESS\_DB\_NAME     | Database name       |
| MYSQL\_ROOT\_PASSWORD   | MySQL root password |

### Add Additional Variables

Click **Add Environment Variable** to configure additional application-specific variables.
