## API Key Setup

In order to make use of the Gemini models, an API key must first be generated. Instructions for generating an API key can be found below, taking notes from Patrick Loeber’s Build with Gemini Workshop.

1. Visit Google AI Studio to create or retrieve an API key.
2. Copy the API Key and save it called GEMINI_API_KEY for use in your project. In Google Colab this can be saved as a secret or in local development it can be saved as an environment variable using export GEMINI_API_KEY=<your_key>. In this guide the key is stored in a .env file as follows: GEMINI_API_KEY="<your_key>" It is important that you do not share this key in publicly available code.

Library Setup

Download the repository and install the package using:
