!!! Tip "Validate combined result"
You can use the [show-config subcommand](utils.md#show-config) to see the final, combined configuration.
??? Warning "Loading sequence"
Environment variables are loaded after the initial configuration. As such, you cannot provide the path to the configuration through environment variables. Please use `--config path/to/config.json` for that.
This also applies to user_dir to some degree. while the user directory can be set through environment variables - the configuration will **not** be loaded from that location.
### Multiple configuration files
Multiple configuration files can be specified and used by the bot or the bot can read its configuration parameters from the process standard input stream.
