Setting environment variable in a docker container

I am trying to set environment variables in a docker container but I get the following error 

 starting container process caused "exec: \"-e\": executable file not found in $PATH": unknown

Here is how I set the variables 

docker run image -e ENV_VAR= '{"a":{"b":"c"}}' -p 3000:3000

What am I missing?

The docker command is order sensitive. Everything after the image name is the command you want to run inside the container. Place the image name after the flags to the run command:

docker run -e ENV_VAR='{"a":{"b":"c"}}' -p 3000:3000 image
