+## METEOR_SQLITE_JOURNAL_MODE
+(_development_)
+
+The Meteor package catalog uses the `WAL` [SQLite Journal Mode](https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_journal_mode) by default.  The Journal mode for the package catalog can be modifed by setting `METEOR_SQLITE_JOURNAL_MODE`.

+When running multiple concurrent meteor servers on [Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/) some meteor developers have seen issues with the package catalog.  Setting the environment variable `METEOR_SQLITE_JOURNAL_MODE=TRUNCATE` can overcome the issue.
