# MindTickle Install & Auth

## Overview

Set up MindTickle API for sales readiness, training content management, and rep performance analytics.

## Prerequisites

- MindTickle account and API access
- API key/credentials from MindTickle dashboard
- Node.js 18+ or Python 3.8+

## Instructions

### Step 1: Install SDK

```bash
npm install @mindtickle/sdk
# API key from MindTickle Admin > Integrations > API
```

### Step 2: Configure Authentication

```bash
export MINDTICKLE_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
echo 'MINDTICKLE_API_KEY=your-api-key' >> .env
```

### Step 3: Verify Connection (TypeScript)

```typescript
import { MindTickleClient } from '@mindtickle/sdk';
const client = new MindTickleClient({ apiKey: process.env.MINDTICKLE_API_KEY });
const users = await client.users.list({ limit: 5 });
console.log(`Found ${users.total} users`);
```

### Step 4: Verify Connection (Python)

```python
import mindtickle
client = mindtickle.Client(api_key=os.environ['MINDTICKLE_API_KEY'])
users = client.users.list(limit=5)
print(f'Found {users.total} users')
```
