lium init

Run first-time setup: authenticate in the browser, then save your API key and configure your SSH key locally.

lium init [OPTIONS]

By default lium init opens your browser to authenticate. For headless machines, use the two-step flow with --no-browser and --session.

Options

Flag	Effect
--no-browser	Print the auth URL and a session ID instead of opening a browser (step 1 of headless auth)
--session ID	Verify a pending auth session and save the API key (step 2 of headless auth)

Examples

lium init                       # Opens the browser to authenticate
lium init --no-browser          # Prints the auth URL + session ID
lium init --session <ID>        # Verifies that session and saves the API key
