Invalid env variables Nextjs

Hi guys !
It's certainly very dumb but I don't figure it out.
I have set everything correctly from what I've seen in the docs but when I run one of my scripts where I invoke these variables, I have this:
:x: Invalid environment variables: {
  DATABASE_URL: [ 'Required' ],
  NODE_ENV: [ 'Required' ],
(... msg too long)


Here is my env.mjs:
  import { createEnv } from "@t3-oss/env-nextjs";
import { z } from "zod";

export const env = createEnv({
  /**
   * Specify your server-side environment variables schema here. This way you can ensure the app
   * isn't built with invalid env vars.
   */
  server: {
    DATABASE_URL: z.string().url(),
    NODE_ENV: z.enum(["development", "test", "production"]),
    OPENAI_API_KEY: z.string().min(1),
    SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY: z.string().min(1),
  },

  /**
   * Specify your client-side environment variables schema here. This way you can ensure the app
   * isn't built with invalid env vars. To expose them to the client, prefix them with
   * `NEXT_PUBLIC_`.
   */
  client: {
    // NEXT_PUBLIC_CLIENTVAR: z.string().min(1),
    NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL: z.string().url(),
    NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY: z.string().min(1),
  },

  /**
   * You can't destruct `process.env` as a regular object in the Next.js edge runtimes (e.g.
   * middlewares) or client-side so we need to destruct manually.
   */
  runtimeEnv: {
    DATABASE_URL: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
    NODE_ENV: process.env.NODE_ENV,
    OPENAI_API_KEY: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
    SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY: process.env.SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY,
    NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL,
    NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY,
    // NEXT_PUBLIC_CLIENTVAR: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_CLIENTVAR,
  },
  /**
   * Run `build` or `dev` with `SKIP_ENV_VALIDATION` to skip env validation.
   * This is especially useful for Docker builds.
   */
  skipValidation: !!process.env.SKIP_ENV_VALIDATION,
});
Solution
If you’re running a script outside of nextjs you’ll have to handle reading env from the .env file using library like dotenv when running that script.
