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)

# Python
pip install gamma-sdk
Step 2: Configure Authentication
# 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
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
