Nuxt prepare set dotenv path

How do I set the dotenv path for

"postinstall": "nuxt prepare

"postinstall": "nuxt prepare

?
Doesn't work ->

"postinstall": "nuxt prepare --dotenv ../.env"

"postinstall": "nuxt prepare --dotenv ../.env"

Picture is right after using

npm install

npm install

, at

nuxt.config.ts:32:114

nuxt.config.ts:32:114

I'm using

process.env.PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL

process.env.PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL

which doesn't exist due to not using the right dotenv path...
