# Gamma Install & Auth
## Overview
Set up Gamma API and configure authentication credentials for AI-powered presentation generation.
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+
- Package manager (npm, pnpm, or pip)
- Gamma account with API access
- API key from Gamma dashboard
## Instructions
### Step 1: Install SDK
```bash
# Node.js
npm install @gamma/sdk
# Python
pip install gamma-sdk
```
### Step 2: Configure Authentication
```bash
# Set environment variable
export GAMMA_API_KEY="your-api-key"
# Or create .env file
echo 'GAMMA_API_KEY=your-api-key' >> .env
```
### Step 3: Verify Connection
```typescript
import { GammaClient } from '@gamma/sdk';
const gamma = new GammaClient({ apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY });
const status = await gamma.ping();
console.log(status.ok ? 'Connected!' : 'Failed');
```
## Output
- Installed SDK package in node_modules or site-packages
- Environment variable or .env file with API key
- Successful connection verification output
## Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Invalid API Key | Incorrect or expired key | Verify key in Gamma dashboard |
| Rate Limited | Exceeded quota | Check quota at https://gamma.app/docs |
| Network Error | Firewall blocking | Ensure outbound HTTPS allowed |
| Module Not Found | Installation failed | Run `npm install` or `pip install` again |
## Examples
### TypeScript Setup
```typescript
import { GammaClient } from '@gamma/sdk';
const gamma = new GammaClient({
apiKey: process.env.GAMMA_API_KEY,
});
```
### Python Setup
```python
from gamma import GammaClient
client = GammaClient(
api_key=os.environ.get('GAMMA_API_KEY')
)
```
