Ride-The-Lightning-RTL/docs/Application_configurations

RTL allows the user to configure and control specific application parameters for app customization and integration.
The parameters can be configured via RTL-Config.json file or through environment variables defined at the OS level. Required 
parameters have `default` values for initial setup and can be updated after RTL server initial start.

#### Environment variables
;The environment variable can also be used for all of the above configurations except the UI settings.
;If the environment variables are set, it will take precedence over the parameters in the RTL-Config.json file.
