## Server Machine and Server Program { #server-machine-and-server-program }

There's a small detail about names to keep in mind. 💡

The word "**server**" is commonly used to refer to both the remote/cloud computer (the physical or virtual machine) and also the program that is running on that machine (e.g. Uvicorn).

---

Then the next concepts to consider are all about the program running your actual API (e.g. Uvicorn).

## Program and Process { #program-and-process }

We will talk a lot about the running "**process**", so it's useful to have clarity about what it means, and what's the difference with the word "**program**".

### What is a Program { #what-is-a-program }

The word **program** is commonly used to describe many things:

         'https://repo.msys2.org/distrib/x86_64/msys2-base-x86_64-20240113.tar.xz', \
         'msys2.tar.xz'); \
    Start-Process -FilePath \"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe\" -ArgumentList 'x msys2.tar.xz -oC:\TEMP\msys2.tar' -Wait; \
    Start-Process -FilePath \"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe\" -ArgumentList 'x C:\TEMP\msys2.tar -oC:\tools' -Wait; \

También puedes crear una variable de entorno solo para una **invocación específica de un programa**, que está disponible solo para ese programa, y solo durante su duración.

Para hacer eso, créala justo antes del programa en sí, en la misma línea:

<div class="termy">

```console
// Crea una env var MY_NAME en línea para esta llamada del programa
$ MY_NAME="Wade Wilson" python main.py

// Ahora puede leer la variable de entorno

یعنی سیستم باید دنبال برنامه‌ها توی این پوشه‌ها بگرده:

```

이는 시스템이 다음 디렉토리에서 프로그램을 찾아야 함을 의미합니다:

-   `C:\Program Files\Python312\Scripts`
-   `C:\Program Files\Python312`
-   `C:\Windows\System32`
