## Setup
1. **Get a Gemini API Key:** Obtain your API key from Google AI Studio: [https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey)
2. **Set Environment Variable:** Set the `GEMINI_API_KEY` environment variable to your obtained key. You can do this temporarily in your current shell session:
```bash
export GEMINI_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
```

```bash
echo 'export GEMINI_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"' >> ~/.bashrc # Or your preferred shell config file
source ~/.bashrc # Reload the config
```
