    set GALAXY_URL=<your_ndip_url>     # Windows (Command Prompt)

    $env:GALAXY_URL="<your_ndip_url>"  # Windows (PowerShell)

    export GALAXY_URL=calvera-test.ornl.gov  # Linux/macOS

    set GALAXY_URL=calvera-test.ornl.gov     # Windows (Command Prompt)

    $env:GALAXY_URL="calvera-test.ornl.gov"  # Windows (PowerShell)
