Two ways to go about setting env variables.
If you need the variables only within the context of the script you are running, then this would work,
./env.sh or sh env.sh. Both invoke the env shell script you have.
If you want to retain those exported variables beyond the shell context i.e. for further use outside the script, try this
source env.sh
