Important

This project is made to run on Linux systems. You need to have a GEMINI-API-KEY already in your environment (or .bashrc) file for you to connect to Gemini.

Installation

To install this package:

pip install gemini-in-shell==0.1.0

or you can check it out here : https://pypi.org/project/gemini-in-shell/

Usage

There are two ways to use this package

Interactive

shell-gemini --interactive

This starts a conversation with Gemini in your terminal with multiple queries one after the other. No need to re-run the package everytime.

Inline

shell-gemini "<query>"

A simpler option if you want a response for just one query without the hassle of having to exit the interactive mode.

Dependencies

• Google GenerativeAI (google.generativeai) - For connecting with Gemini and receiving responses to-and-fro. Needs a GEMINI_API_KEY to function and connect.
• argparse (argparse) - To take the command line query inputs and setup the modes.
• grpcio (grpcio) - To eliminate the error messages that would be printed in / after Gemini's responses. Version 1.60.0 is the closest and latest version I could find that would allow this.
• os (os) - Built-in in most Python environments, used to check if the user's .bashrc file has the GEMINI_API_KEY in it for the program to run.
