HOWTO Use an Alternate 'simp config' Environment

Generally, when running the simp config and simp bootstrap commands, all items will be placed into the production :term:`Puppet Environment` and :term:`SIMP Secondary Environment`.

If you are installing SIMP onto a preexisting system, you may want to instead install into an environment other than production.

As of simp-cli version 6.0.0 (new with SIMP 6.5), you can configure the simp config and simp bootstrap commands to use an alternate initial environment by setting the shell environment variable, $SIMP_ENVIRONMENT.

For example, if you wanted to name your initial environment simp, then you would do the following:

export SIMP_ENVIRONMENT='simp'
simp config
...
simp bootstrap

See :ref:`gsg-advanced-configuration` for more information on simp config.
