+
+```js 
+PARSE_SERVER_DATABASE_URI
+PARSE_SERVER_CLOUD_CODE_MAIN
+PARSE_SERVER_COLLECTION_PREFIX
+PARSE_SERVER_APPLICATION_ID // required
+PARSE_SERVER_CLIENT_KEY 
+PARSE_SERVER_REST_API_KEY
+PARSE_SERVER_DOTNET_KEY
+PARSE_SERVER_JAVASCRIPT_KEY
+PARSE_SERVER_DOTNET_KEY
+PARSE_SERVER_MASTER_KEY // required
+PARSE_SERVER_FILE_KEY
+PARSE_SERVER_FACEBOOK_APP_IDS // string of comma separated list
+
+```
+
+
+
+Alernatively, you can use the `PARSE_SERVER_OPTIONS` environment variable set to the JSON of your configuration (see Usage).
+
+To start the server, just run `npm start`.
