process.env variables undefined in Nextjs

Question

I'm reading undefined for my enviroment variable.When I console log process.env I can't seem to find the variable I defined In my .env file at the root directory.

.env.local file

privateKey="444455....."

scripts/hardhat.config.js

mumbai: {
  url: 'https://polygon-mumbai.g.alchemy.com/v2/3333.....',
  accounts: [process.env.privateKey]
},

Is it because I'm reading process.env outside of pages? I aslo tried prefixing like NEXT_PUBLIC_privateKey="0033....." and then reading it process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_privateKey but value would only show inside pages folder and not in scripts/hardhat.config.js

Make sure you have installed and initialized the doting NPM package that is needed to use environment variables.

FINALLY WORKS

I ended up adding the dotenv AS SOMEONE SUGGESTED and starts reading.

Note to self

Enviroment variables outside next.js pages need that dotnev thing;
