Quick Start

  1. Install uv (if not already installed):
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
  1. Install the CLI with uv:
uv tool install prime
  1. Authenticate:
prime login
Alternatively you can also manually set your API key using prime config set-api-key
  1. Configure SSH key for pod access:
prime config set-ssh-key-path
You can generate your ssh keys on app.primeintellect.ai under the /dashboard/profile section. We recommend creating a dedicated directory for your Prime Intellect keys in your home directory, like /Users/<username>/pi-keys.
