Setting up MERN stack application on Educative

Now you might have `.env` files in your projects such as configuration credentials for a Firebase app and you may be wondering how to incorporate that onto applications on Educative. Don't worry as we have got you covered. 

Read up the information on "Adding Environment Variables" in [Author's Guide](https://www.educative.io/courses/author-guide/YQPwE04q680). 

Here is an example of a project "Integrating Firebase with React" that we set up on Educative:

# GitHub Link
* https://github.com/the-road-to-react-with-firebase/react-firebase-authentication-starter-kit

# Dockerfile



FROM gcr.io/educative-exec-env/educative:latest
MAINTAINER Alina Fatima

RUN cd /usr/local/educative/ && \
   git clone https://github.com/the-road-to-react-with-firebase/react-firebase-authentication.git && \
   cd react-firebase-authentication && \
   npm install


As you can see, the above application was very simple to set up on Educative. I hope the same is the case with your application. Good Luck!
