Meteor change from local to remote DB

I’m trying to connect my development app to a remote mongodb at mongolabs. I have tried to change the environment settings in the settings.json file to:

      "env": {
    "MONGO_URL": "mongodb://xxxxx:xxxxxx@xxxx.mongolab.com:xxxx/xxxx"
  }

and to:

          "env": {
    "export MONGO_URL": "mongodb://xxxxx:xxxxxx@xxxx.mongolab.com:xxxx/xxxx"
  }

I have also tried these two above commands in the terminal, which gives me a error of 'export' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. or:

'MONGO_URL' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

Where else can the environment variables be changed to connect to the remote DB?


As far as I know this is still the state of art. Alternatively u can use mup or mupx to set if for you.
