## 💡 Getting Started

For full documentation, please visit [Encord Python SDK](https://docs.encord.com/sdk-documentation/getting-started-sdk/installation-sdk).

First, install Encord Python API Client using the [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing) package manager:

```bash
python3 -m pip install encord
```

Then, create a service account, generate a public-private key pair, and upload the public key to the [Encord website](https://www.encord.com/).
Detailed guide can be found in the [dedicated manual](https://docs.encord.com/platform-documentation/GettingStarted/getting-started-service-accounts).

Passing the private key to the factory, you can initialise the Encord client directly.

```python
# Import dependencies
from encord import EncordUserClient

# Authenticate with Encord using the path to your private key.  Replace <private_key_path> with the path to your private key.
user_client = EncordUserClient.create_with_ssh_private_key(
  ssh_private_key_path="<private_key_path>"
  )
```

For detailed example code and SDK reference material refer to [Encord SDK documentation](https://docs.encord.com/sdk-documentation/getting-started-sdk/sdk-intro)
