How to Set Your IDE with Generative AI Environments to Generate Content

Prerequisites

This quickstart assumes that you’re familiar with building applications with Python.

To complete this quickstart, ensure that your development environment meets the following requirements:

• Python 3.9+

Install the Google Cloud client library:

Open your terminal or command prompt and run the following command:

pip install google-cloud-aiplatform

Optional) Create a virtual environment:

It’s generally good practice to use virtual environments to manage dependencies for your Python projects. This helps avoid conflicts between different projects. You can create a virtual environment using venv

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install google-cloud-aiplatform

Install the Gemini API SDK

The Python SDK for the Gemini API is contained in the google-generativeai package. Install the dependency using pip

pip install -q -U google-generativeai

Set up your API key

To use the Gemini API, you'll need an API key. If you don't already have one, create a key in Google AI Studio.

Here is the direct link to navigate https://aistudio.google.com/app/u/2/apikey

Once you click on Create Key it will be asking to select project which project you are going to set

Once your API key is created Then, configure your key.

Note:-It is strongly recommended that you do not check an API key into your version control system but assign it as an environment variable instead

export API_KEY=<YOUR_API_KEY>

Example: you set with your IDE an environment variable like this as follows below screenshot

Now Create a Python file like for example text-generation.py

and write the code

#Import the library
#Import and configure the Google Generative AI library.

import google.generativeai as genai
import os

genai.configure(api_key=os.environ["API_KEY"])
##Make your first request
## Use the generateContent method to generate text.

model = genai.GenerativeModel("gemini-1.5-flash")
response = model.generate_content("Write a story about a magic backpack.")
print(response.text)

Follow the below screenshot

Now time to run your script and generate text

Back to your IDE, Go to the Genai directory and put the cmd python3 text-generation.py, follow the below steps on how to run the Python script.

Great, now we can generate the content you can set your environments as per your business needs :)😀👍
