 ## Running
 
 Before running the examples, first change to the top-level examples directory (`cd ../..`) and type
 
 ```shell
 export CUBED_CONFIG=$(pwd)/lithops/aws
+# or for obstore:
+export CUBED_CONFIG=$(pwd)/lithops/aws/cubed-obstore.yaml
 ```
 
 Then you can run the examples in the [docs](https://cubed-dev.github.io/cubed/examples/index.html).
