But you don’t need to use Flask. Create a virtual environment using venv and then you create main.py and .env and then install google-generativeai.

Create a virtual environment.

python -m venv env
source env/Scripts/activate

Create main.py and .env.

touch main.py
touch .env

Install google-generativeai and python-dotenv. Installing python-dotenv is optional.

pip install google-generativeai python-dotenv

Coding and Excute the code

Write main.py following code.

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import google.generativeai as genai

# Loading .env file
load_dotenv()

# Setting API Key
GOOGLE_API_KEY=os.getenv('GOOGLE_API_KEY')
genai.configure(api_key=GOOGLE_API_KEY)

gemini_pro = genai.GenerativeModel("gemini-pro")
prompt = "Hello World!"
res = gemini_pro.generate_content(prompt)
print(res.text)

Write the API key in .env.

.env

GOOGLE_API_KEY=[your API Key]

Then run the below command.

python main.py
