Node cant access envorinment variable port

So I have set my PORT environment variable, lets say to 5555(using on windows cmd -> set PORT = 5555), yet when I use: process.env.PORT, I only get undefined, ....

const express = require ('express');
const app = express();;

app.get('/',(req,res) => {
    res.send('Welcome To Learn How Here');
});

app.get('/api/courses',(req,res) => {
    res.send(["English for dujms","HTML","JavaScript"]);
})

const port = process.env.PORT;  //-> cant see whats wrong here???
app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Listening on port ${port}...`));

Nothing wrong in your code, just remove the spaces when you set PORT=5555
