## Install git
Make sure you have git installed.
Here are
[instructions for installing git in various environments](https://github.com/git-guides/install-git).
## Get your API key
To work with OpenAI's models like GPT-4o or GPT-3.5 you need a paid
[OpenAI API key](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/4936850-where-do-i-find-my-secret-api-key).
Note that this is different than being a "ChatGPT Plus" subscriber.
To work with Anthropic's models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet you need a paid
[Anthropic API key](https://docs.anthropic.com/claude/reference/getting-started-with-the-api).
