# 🎨 Creating Flows
|
||
|
||
Creating flows with Langflow is easy. Simply drag components from the sidebar onto the canvas and connect them to start building your application.
|
||
|
||
Explore by editing prompt parameters, grouping components into a single high-level component, and building your own Custom Components.
|
||
|
||
Once you’re done, you can export your flow as a JSON file.
|
||
|
||
Load the flow with:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
from langflow.load import run_flow_from_json
|
||
|
||
results = run_flow_from_json("path/to/flow.json", input_value="Hello, World!")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
# 🖥️ Command Line Interface (CLI)
|
||
|
||
Langflow provides a command-line interface (CLI) for easy management and configuration.
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
You can run the Langflow using the following command:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
langflow run [OPTIONS]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Each option is detailed below:
|
||
|
||
- `--help`: Displays all available options.
|
||
- `--host`: Defines the host to bind the server to. Can be set using the `LANGFLOW_HOST` environment variable. The default is `127.0.0.1`.
|
||
- `--workers`: Sets the number of worker processes. Can be set using the `LANGFLOW_WORKERS` environment variable. The default is `1`.
|
||
- `--timeout`: Sets the worker timeout in seconds. The default is `60`.
|
||
- `--port`: Sets the port to listen on. Can be set using the `LANGFLOW_PORT` environment variable. The default is `7860`.
|
||

|
||
- `--env-file`: Specifies the path to the .env file containing environment variables. The default is `.env`.
|
||
- `--log-level`: Defines the logging level. Can be set using the `LANGFLOW_LOG_LEVEL` environment variable. The default is `critical`.
|
||
- `--components-path`: Specifies the path to the directory containing custom components. Can be set using the `LANGFLOW_COMPONENTS_PATH` environment variable. The default is `langflow/components`.
|
||
- `--log-file`: Specifies the path to the log file. Can be set using the `LANGFLOW_LOG_FILE` environment variable. The default is `logs/langflow.log`.
|
||
- `--cache`: Selects the type of cache to use. Options are `InMemoryCache` and `SQLiteCache`. Can be set using the `LANGFLOW_LANGCHAIN_CACHE` environment variable. The default is `SQLiteCache`.
|
||
- `--dev/--no-dev`: Toggles the development mode. The default is `no-dev`.
|
||
- `--path`: Specifies the path to the frontend directory containing build files. This option is for development purposes only. Can be set using the `LANGFLOW_FRONTEND_PATH` environment variable.
|
||
- `--open-browser/--no-open-browser`: Toggles the option to open the browser after starting the server. Can be set using the `LANGFLOW_OPEN_BROWSER` environment variable. The default is `open-browser`.
|
||
- `--remove-api-keys/--no-remove-api-keys`: Toggles the option to remove API keys from the projects saved in the database. Can be set using the `LANGFLOW_REMOVE_API_KEYS` environment variable. The default is `no-remove-api-keys`.
|
||
- `--install-completion [bash|zsh|fish|powershell|pwsh]`: Installs completion for the specified shell.
|
||
- `--show-completion [bash|zsh|fish|powershell|pwsh]`: Shows completion for the specified shell, allowing you to copy it or customize the installation.
|
||
- `--backend-only`: This parameter, with a default value of `False`, allows running only the backend server without the frontend. It can also be set using the `LANGFLOW_BACKEND_ONLY` environment variable.
|
||
- `--store`: This parameter, with a default value of `True`, enables the store features, use `--no-store` to deactivate it. It can be configured using the `LANGFLOW_STORE` environment variable.
|
||
|
||
These parameters are important for users who need to customize the behavior of Langflow, especially in development or specialized deployment scenarios.
|
||
|
||
### Environment Variables
|
||
|
||
You can configure many of the CLI options using environment variables. These can be exported in your operating system or added to a `.env` file and loaded using the `--env-file` option.
|
||
|
||
A sample `.env` file named `.env.example` is included with the project. Copy this file to a new file named `.env` and replace the example values with your actual settings. If you're setting values in both your OS and the `.env` file, the `.env` settings will take precedence.
