how to add Replicate api key?

Question

i´m trying to use Replicate to run some neural networks in the cloud but it yields this error message:

ReplicateError: No API token provided. You need to set the REPLICATE_API_TOKEN environment variable or create a client with `replicate.Client(api_token=...)`.

You can find your API key on https://replicate.com

and python also can´t find it with the command

print(os.environ.get("REPLICATE_API_TOKEN"))

i already tried passing it using sysdm.cpl and it still doesnt work. How do I set it as an environmental variable?

I was facing the same issue when trying to run Llama. Here is my solution:

os.environ["REPLICATE_API_TOKEN"] = "TOKEN"
api = replicate.Client(api_token=os.environ["REPLICATE_API_TOKEN"])
output = api.run(
    "meta/llama-2-70b-chat:02e509c789964a7ea8736978a43525956ef40397be9033abf9fd2badfe68c9e3",
        input={"prompt": prompt}
    )
for item in output:
    print(item, end="")

Was also getting an auth issue. This is what worked - replicate = replicate.Client(api_token='')
