Setup API Key

Guide the user through obtaining a Runway API key, installing the SDK, and configuring their project for API access.

PREREQUISITE: Run +check-compatibility first to ensure the project has server-side capability.

Step 1: Create a Runway Developer Account

Direct the user to:

1. Go to https://dev.runwayml.com/
2. Create an organization (or use an existing one)
3. Navigate to Organization Settings → API Keys
4. Click Create API Key
5. Copy the key immediately — it is only shown once and cannot be recovered

Important warnings to tell the user:

• Lost keys cannot be retrieved. If lost, disable the old key and create a new one.
• API keys are organization-scoped, not user-scoped.
