+Note `APP_originsFile` specifies a Styx origins file path. It substitutes a placeholder
+in the default server configuration file `styx-test/styx/conf/default.yml`. Normally

+path, or a path relative to the Styx server working directory. But for now we'll just pass 
+it in to start the server from your project working directory.
